:I have a 72 Comet GT for Sale if you are interested. It needs restoration; the major thing is the floor pans, the body is sound but either the cowls or the windshield is bad and this allowed water to leak and rot out the floors. It was a factory 302/auto that came with air, tinted windows, and power steering. The engine and transmission is in the car but the heads and intake have been removed. All of the glass is there and in really good shape. The padded dash is not cracked or torn. The interior is black and exterior is or was dark green. The car was purchases new in jan 1972, in Macon GA, by myself and driven until 1981 when I sold it to my brother. While he owned it he went through three engines. The original engine block was messed up while he was attending auto mechanics school. He had pulled the engine out for a rebuild and the boreing machine malfuctioned and ruined the block. It then sat for a couple of years (I'm not sure how long) with what was left of the engine in the trunk. Sometime after that my older brother and younger brother put a 289 in it. That engine was later blown up and it was replaced with a 302 with 351 heads. The car was driven like that until 1988 when it was parked because a wheel bearing went out and it sat under a tree in Alabama until Jan 1998 when I pulled it from Mobile to Atlanta with plans of it being my long range project to restore. I am now looking at the possibility of moving to South Dakota and have to sell the car. I would love to restore it because it was the first new car that I owned and there are allot of memories there. I would not like to see it go to a junk yard so if someone is interested I want $350.00 for it.
: Why do you want a '70? A '71 or '72 looks just as good and would have a heavier-duty suspension, rearend (5-bolt wheel pattern) and were available with a V-8....

: : I am looking for a 1970 Maverick 2 door. I would like it to have all the parts. The car doesn't have to run or be in that good of shape. I wouldn't mind a good project car (within reason of course). Or a 1970 Maverick that is in decent shape, willing to entertain any 1970 Maverick for sale. I am located in Va Beach, VA and prefer someone who is near by or able to ship it to me.
