Many forget the performance aspect of the Mercury brand in the 60's. They produced some iconic models that provided performance and style with some extra flair to attract the more well healed buyers. Unfortunately, their prices reflected that and it did not allow the high sales volume to continue the growth of that segment. A quick pivot to the luxury brand and large sedans became the road map and the rest is history.
Proud to bring this 1965 Mercury Comet to the market with some very nice tasteful upgrades. According to the trim tag it was originally Deep Blue Metallic and just a 2DR Comet. At some point the color was changed over to a lighter blue and added trim of the Caliente to dress it up more and give it additional appeal.
This very clean and fun driving Comet was given a rebuilt 289ci V8 mated to a C4 Trans automatic with IDIDIT steering column, vintage A/C, retro radio, new headliner, newer tires, wood steering wheel, chrome hubcaps, and hood insulation.
This car remains in gorgeous condition with evident care and love over the past decades. This Comet comes with a thick file folder of recent receipts and documentation of the engine rebuild by Hegelmann's American Muscle.
