: you suck!!!!!
: nice find man, wish I could come across something similar... lol
: just a word of caution, I'm sure you're aware tho, mine looked to be in excellent condition, overall its good, but cowl rust has helped floorpan rust along quite nicely.
: even if, you still got a great deal, I paid $1200 for 2 door 302 Comet.
You got a good deal too. I was figuring I would have to pay atleast $1500 for a 2 dr. with a 302, let alone Grabber. I looked throught it more carefully today and the floor pans as well as the trunk(the trunks rust badly too in many Fords is this era) and again I got lucky with no problems there. I did however find the right rear quarter had a good amount of bondo in it(spotted it because it is now cracking). But overall, the body is good. I gotta replace those goofy large bumpers though. Anyone know if 70-71 small front/rear bumpers fit without problems? Also wondering now, since the floor pans are different than my 70, will 71 Mustang buckets fit this 73 without problems or track changes?
