1964 Mercury Comet Caliente

Here is a genuinely distinctive slice of mid-’60s Americana — a real K-code 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente that pairs sharp period styling with honest V8 performance and a show-proven presentation. Finished in striking Turquoise over a clean black bench-seat cabin, this Caliente rewards the discerning collector who appreciates the performance-oriented corner of Mercury’s compact lineup and wants something well beyond the more common Ford and Chevrolet offerings of the era. Backed by an older frame-off restoration and multiple car show awards, it is the rare kind of classic you can proudly show yet still enjoy on a cruise-in or weekend drive.

Engine & Transmission

  • Authentic K-code 289 cubic-inch V8 — the performance-oriented designation collectors prize, delivering strong, satisfying classic V8 character
  • Smooth 3-speed automatic transmission for easy, relaxed drivability on the open road
  • Aluminum radiator installed for improved cooling — better suited to regular driving and warm-weather use
  • A well-sorted, genuinely enjoyable powertrain that captures everything great about a mid-’60s Mercury

Exterior

  • Striking Turquoise finish that perfectly suits the Comet’s crisp body lines and delivers a strong, period-correct presence
  • Paint remains in great overall condition, with only minor blemishes consistent with age and use
  • Handsome Caliente styling that stands apart from the more familiar Ford and Chevrolet compacts of the era
  • Presentation refined enough to have earned recognition at multiple car shows

Interior

  • Clean black bench-seat interior that keeps the cabin simple, tasteful, and authentically classic
  • Black upholstery beautifully complements the Turquoise exterior for a cohesive, well-finished look
  • A comfortable, driver-friendly cabin ready to enjoy at shows and on the road alike

Suspension & Chassis

  • Benefited from an older frame-off restoration, addressing the car top to bottom
  • Solid, well-presented foundation that reflects the quality and thoroughness of the rotisserie-style rebuild
  • Sorted and road-ready for local shows, cruise-ins, and weekend outings

Additional Info

  • Verified real K-code Comet Caliente — an especially desirable and interesting example for collectors and enthusiasts
  • Multiple car show awards, speaking directly to the quality of the restoration and overall presentation
  • Older frame-off restoration that still presents very well today
  • A rare, distinctive alternative to the common Ford and Chevrolet classics of the period

    Merc K code was 210 HP with hydraulic lifters and vacuum advance, not the 271 HP solid lifter engine with mechanical advance. Still a nice car though….
