This 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible represents less than 4% of total Comet production for that year, making it a scarce find among premium drop-tops. The Jamaican Yellow exterior radiates against a black vinyl convertible top, creating a bold visual impact. Chrome REV wheels measure 15 inches, wrapped in Kumo tires - 185/60R15 up front and meatier 225/70R15 in the rear. A power-operated top mechanism adds modern convenience while maintaining the classic profile. The chrome trim and accents amplify the car's powerful lines.
The black vinyl interior delivers a purposeful, performance-oriented atmosphere. Fresh carpet lines the floor while bucket seats provide ideal positioning behind the wheel. A column-mounted shifter and center console blend convenience with style. The AM/FM Bluetooth stereo system brings modern audio capabilities while maintaining the dash's classic appearance. A supplementary voltage gauge mounted below the dash helps monitor electrical system performance.
A 302 V8 sits front and center, fed by an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor perched atop an Edelbrock aluminum high-rise intake manifold designed for the 289. The engine bay showcases chrome Ford valve covers and matching air cleaner. An AOD 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive delivers power to a Ford 9-inch rear end. The suspension system combines front coils with rear leaf springs and air shocks, while power steering provides enhanced control. A Cherry Bomb muffler adds aggressive sound to the single exhaust system.
