No .... they aren't exactally rare but they are a little harder to come by than the Mustang parts. There are still quite a few suppliers selling parts though, so i doubt you'd have any major trouble finding what you need.
I have a 64 (same car different trim) and the only thing i've had any trouble with is V8 throttle linkage and bucket seats ... bought some buckets from a 67 cougar that the guy told me were exactally the same .... wrong !! I got them to work but it was a real hassle .... the 64 comet has some very similar body pieces ... I have a door off one that is exactally the same except for the work i had to do on the trim holes. All in all you can get most of what you need without to many problems.

The floor pans no ... the suspension i think most of it. The engine compartment is about an inch and a half wider on the stang so i believe the steering linkage is a little bit different but most of the rest of it is the same.
