Seems it would be a steal for a Ford person at that price.
For sure...tempting even for a Chevy guy, at that price!

Riding with Tony on this one. A lot going on the last week of the year for a project car-odds favor the buyer. I doubt he gets a bid.

I bet a guy could separate that drive train from the train wreck of a body and sell it for a handsome profit. Gotta be people with a period correct body they would love to make into a vintage racer.


You'll have to keep this one at the top until the auction ends, or I'll forget about it. My short term memory is swirling at the bottom of the bowl...

Man if my shop wasn’t full I’d be all about that body. Love the old comets and I’m a Chevy guy.

That era Caliente's were sharp cars. I guess my train wreck comment came from the sellers description of original paint and interior....what is left of it. The body does appear to be quite solid, just needs some ironing and patches. I prefer the '64 model, with the horizontal headlights, bright side trim and the tail lights. I guess I'm a "chrome" guy from the 60's.

Well, turns out the last auction did end without any bids. Relisted in the link below, with the same $7500 opening bid and no reserve.

Relisted for $6500 in the link below. Currently looking at some storage options in CA so I can bid on this...I don't think I could get hurt at that price provided the bidding is subdued (as it has been in previous auctions).

I can't help thinking what a killer car this would be running and driving.

May be in a rental space now. Contact the owner and see if leaving it there for a few months, until you can arrange shipping, is an option.
