Worth the time to see this lady who has proven you can get big miles out of cars if you take care of them.

Mercury Comet Caliente

Yeah, I saw that back a few years ago.

She buys lifetime warrenties on EVERYTHING. She showed paperwork of an old battery or muffler system that she's had replaced like 5 times and the warranty has moved from company to company each time (as a company goes out of business the warranty is purchased by another).

The companies go out of business but her car is still going!

If I remember correctly the Caliente had a 260 cu. in. V-8.

I had a 1966 Fairlane 500 XL, purchsed new, that I sold after 8 years an 200,000 trouble free miles with a 289 V-8, auto. no air. Loved that car. It was the first new car I ever owned. Matter of fact, every new car I've owned has been a Ford!! Never any problems with them either.

Phuque Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Kia, Hyundai!!

I think it's a 64 so yeah, it would be a 260.
