This Mercury Comet Caliente has been completed to represent a typical strip and street machine from the early 70’s.

Underhood is a smallblock Ford V8 treated to a quality rebuild with aluminum radiator, aluminum intake, four barrel carb, mildly hotter than stock camshaft and ceramic coated headers.

This Mercury Comet has been completed to represent a typical strip and street machine from the early 70’s. From the classic styled Cragar wheels with “cheater” slicks to the Sun tach mounted on the steering column with B&M ratchet shifter, this Comet Caliente is a true blast from the past. Under the hood beats a smallblock Ford V8 treated to a quality rebuild while keeping an eye on driveability. Aluminum radiator, aluminum intake, four barrel carb, mildly hotter than stock camshaft with ceramic coated headers round out the mechanical upgrades.
