'64 Comet Caliente

[guardrail]

I'm new to the forums and just picked up this cruiser. It's got a 302/5 spd, original K code car... I'm working on getting any missing pieces together and looking to add A/C otherwise I plan to just enjoy it and cruise around. From what I can tell the previous owner refit the interior with Falcon trim. Anyone know if Caliente panels and seat covers are available anywhere?

guardrail;welcome to the best Comet site.Your 64 is a great looking car,a "K" in the vin means it was a 210HP,4 barrel,not a 271HP,HiPo.It does look like a Falcon interior but currently only Cyclone interiors are repopped and VERY expensive.That interior looks beautiful and close to a Cyclone in design,if it were mine I would leave it!! JMO,ROY.

Nice looking car, where you from?

Thanks, the previous owner did a restore himself so the interior is all new. I just figured if I could find a correct interior it would be good to get it back to match the original. I'm in Jacksonville, FL; previous owner was from South Carolina. I finished a 66 Mustang restomod last year and sold it in September, this time I thought I'd try buying something a little more turn-key and just tinker with it. It's nice to get some enjoyment out of driving it rather than enjoyment from finishing one piece out of an entire restoration!

GRET LOOKING CAR, I DON'T THINK I WOULD DO ANYTHING WITH THE SEATS,THEY LOOK GREAT. IF YOU DO DECIDE TO REPLACE THEM, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL GIVE SOME INFORMATION ON WHO HANDLES THEM. I THINK A WOOD STEERING WHEEL & TACH ON THE DASH WOULD BE KILLER!!! JUST A THOUGHT.

Int. looks great Just a sweet ride ......pop
