AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
General
For sale is an exceptionally rare Mercury Comet Caliente Cabriolet from the last production year, 1967. The vehicle, first delivered in Paris on June 30, 1967, has a notable European history. After being acquired in 1987 in the Netherlands, the car was fully restored. Since 2020 it has been in the Czech Republic, is registered, insured, and has been used exclusively for occasional wedding drives. A valuation report, a restoration album, invoices, and Polish old-timer registration papers are available.
Body & Paint
The body, following a prior full restoration, is in decent condition. The power-operated convertible top opens and closes flawlessly; the top fabric shows only minor, age-related signs of wear. All photos were taken in natural daylight without artificial lighting or retouching to honestly depict the car’s actual condition. The vehicle is fitted with whitewall tires in nearly new condition.
Mechanical / Technical
Four years ago the original 289 cui engine was replaced with a completely rebuilt 302 cui (5.0 liter) V8 engine, which has covered only a few miles since. The cylinder heads have been converted to lead-free fuel and an electronic ignition system has been installed. In the course of the technical overhaul, the automatic transmission was fully rebuilt, and the braking system, alternator, and starter were renewed.
Interior
The interior offers the classic American convertible flair, complemented by the switches for the electric top and an audio system consisting of a cassette radio and a CD changer. The overall condition of the interior matches the well-maintained history of the vehicle.
Documentation & Location
The sale includes extensive documentation: a restoration photo book, numerous invoices, a valuation report, and the Polish old-timer registration papers. The car is registered and insured, and can be viewed by appointment in Jablonec nad Nisou (Czech Republic).

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
