A rare classic drop-top with low production numbers, plenty of originality, and its correct-style F-code 260 V8... 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible is quite desirable even before you look at the shining paint and solid investment that make it a terrific cruiser.
This Mercury has true rarity on its side. The upper-trim Caliente was the only way to get a drop-top Comet, and there were only about 9k produced. That's quite impressive considering how many more mainstream Mustangs were produced in 1964, and they weren't even available for the full model year. This one is even more distinct because it seems to have been out of public view for a while, and it was properly resurrected from an estate sale. So there's a preserved originality in details like the wire wheel covers, wide chrome pumpers, and premium Lincoln-like front end. Plus, the Comet Caliente really knew how to be impressive. The sheet metal has a sweeping line stamped into the profile, and the three-element taillight panel is pure '60s cool. The factory-correct Polar White was given a professional respray during its lifetime, and so it radiates nicely on this convertible. And when you do have the power top raised in place, the clean look and taut fit uphold the premium Mercury style.
The Caliente earns its name with a red-hot interior. The trim tag tells us this is the factory-correct color combo, and so you just know this one has looked terrific with the top down since day one. It's very stock and clean where any updates were done with the correct pieces, including the newer carpeting. This has some classic premium details, like the color-matched convertible boot, the AM radio for a display, and the intricate stock steering wheel with the Mercury logo at the center. But the little things like the added engine temp gauge are also a reminder that this classic likes to be a proper cruiser today. Plus, bucket seats with a center console in-between are always a desirable driver's feature.
The reason why we can compare a Comet to a Mustang is that they both had the 260 cubic-inch V8 offered this year. And so it's great to see this displacement still under the hood today. It has a very original look to the bold blue block and the matching valve covers and air cleaner. But this was also properly resurrected from its slumber. That means newer investments in key areas like the carburetor, hoses, water pump, fuel pump, and an aluminum radiator. And the investments don't stop at the motor. There are also newer shocks, lower front control arms, ball joints, braking system, and tires. Add in power steering and a three-speed automotive transmission, and you have quite a solid drop-top cruiser.
A rare drop-top American classic presented with both style and substance... oh yes, this Comet Caliente Convertible is one hot deal. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent.
