OPENING: From a high-end collection comes this beautifully done Comet Caliente. The 2 nd generation Comet (�64-�65) was a hit on the drag strip with its lightweight body and V8 friendly engine compartment. This one has the look and feel of those early days when �Dyno Don� Nicholson and �Wild Bill� Shrewsberry ruled their class. Call Jordan (612) 290-9299 with any questions you may have. See the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0juRuh3lVec INTRO/HISTORY: The Comet was born in 1960 and like the Mercury Meteor shared the trend in the early days of the �Space Race� with a space-age name. The production run ended in 1977 having gone from compact to intermediate, then back to compact. Styling was updated in �65 with stacked headlights like the full-size Fords and it also received new tail end treatment with tail lights appearing to go across the full width. It comes with a clean and clear title. EXT: - Red over Red - Scooped hood - Subtle �Gasser� stance - Torque Thrust wheels - Redline tires INT: - All new interior - Vinyl bucket seats - Moon Eyes column-mounted tach - Classic wood-rimmed steering wheel - Iconic Hurst T-Handle shifter ENGINE: - Built 331 c.i. small block V8 - 4-speed manual transmission - Aluminum intake & Edelbrock carb - Headers & new exhaust system - Wilwood disc brakes CONDITION: - Paintwork is outstanding - Engine compartment is spotless - Super clean high quality build - Comes with factory original jack and spare - Safety checked and turn-key ready OVERVIEW: Inside and out, top to bottom this �65 Comet Caliente is a winner in every department. You could trailer it to the show, but you�d be missing half the fun. Lightweight, fast, loud and proud, it�s a time machine back to the golden age of drag racing and stoplight challenges. This high end build is a head turner and a showstopper and is guaranteed to put you in a good mood every time you get behind the wheel. Caliente means hot and this one means it.
