1964 Mercury Comet, ive owned this car for 5 years now and was originally going to restore the car as a tribute to an uncle. He owned one of these 1964 Mercury Comet Callientes when he was a kid and I wanted to restore one for him to daily drive on today's roads. The car when I originally got it was 100% complete, every piece of trim, chrome, or stainless was there. This is the "Calliente" model, with all the chrome. The car was also very solid, needing only few minor repairs to the driver side toe-board, and very minor work in the rear quarters. The front driver side fender had an abnormal rust spot on it too, but I have purchased a new (used) fender to replace it. The uncle I was planning to build the car for has since past and I have lost interest in the project, the car currently sits as a roller, engine and transmission are sitting in it. It steers and could be put on a trailer easily, all tires hold air. Dash originally showed 30k miles and we believe that to be true, but no way to tell with these old 5 digit odometers. The car is 100% complete, I do have all trim, chrome, etc. All labeled. Also have extras of some pieces (not all pictured)I have two windshields, and I may have two rear windowsThe driver side toe board was replaced with a replacement panel, and has original grooving.Fender wells, underside, and interior floor have all been re-coated in a rigid protectant from weather, rust, and dirt. Engine bay is painted a satin black.All glass is good, and all windows roll as they should. All doors shut firm and solid.Car is an original power steering car, and has been rebuilt.Most parts have been blasted, painted, or restored already just need put back on.Rebuilt 289 small block, comes with (3) C4 transmissions. New carburetor still in box.New 8 spark plugs, plug wires, HEI distributor, fuel pump, and fuel sending unit.SSBC Big Disc Brake kit for the front end, installed discs and new bearings but calipers were never on car.All new parts for rear brakes, springs, shoes, drums, master cylinders, etc.All front end is new, power steering all rebuilt, new dust boots, new ball joints upper and lower, new shocks, new lower control arms.Front coils and upper control arms are powder coatedNew universal joints for the drive shaftALL new interior, front and rear seats, and door panels. Door panels stitched to have original trim and lighting to be put back on to look original. NOS tail light lenses in perfect condition. Many spare/multiple chrome pieces1964 Comet Original under dash AC unit, in great shape.The car is 100% complete, has everything needed to go back together. Picture of car complete on trailer are from the day I got it Every nut and bolt that has came off is labeled and bagged. With some slight body work, paint, fuel and brake lines the car would be a great runner. All the hard stuff has already been done, or purchased. Just needs put back together. My loss your gain, have receipts for most of the work/items purchased. Just have no more time for this project, will be listed this one time and then probably parted out. Any questions please ask. Call, or text 239-595-2280. If I don't answer leave a message and ill get back to you as soon as possible. thanks. ADDED: Someone asked if the truck was rusted out from one of the under-car pictures. NO, the gas tank is just out of the car.
