    1973 Comet
    I just found the forum and joined. My first car in 1982 was a 1976 Ford Maverick. Ugly, rusty, but reliable. I don't don't know why, but last weekend I was thinking of that car again. On the spur of the moment I searched EBAY and bought a 1973 Comet. I drove it a few miles. Man, was that cool! Lot's of memories came back. That is the first car I've ever bought for fun rather than transportation. It's in pretty good shape. The grille is broken in a few spots however. I'm looking to replace the grille if anyone has a parts car with one in good shape.

    Thanks

    :Welcome: to the board. Can't wait to see pictures....I have one, but a local guy just bought a 73 Comet & needed the grill (his is broken). I've promised it to him. I'm sure someone on here has another for sale...good luck on your quest!

    Welcome Madison69. I'm glad that you are reliving your memories and making new ones. There is a '71 Comet for sale in my town that I was looking to buy, unfortunately, the owner was asking to much for a car that has no grille, bumpers, or motor. Again, welcome aboard.
