Well guys here are the pics...1972 Original Comet GT

That is cool I hope you find the car your looking for.

 

Cool pics. Bear Cat was the first thing I thought to.

 

Yeah too bad I never got to see it in person. I would have loved to have a car like that. Keeping the faith that one will turn up soon. :bananaman

Awesome!!!!....I will give you a call tomorrow. Hopefully this will be all the waiting paying off!! I got a chill when I saw that message. I am leaving for Disney World at 2:00am Wednesday morning driving their via I-10. On the way back I can probably make a detour up to Georgia and look at it personally. I might be driving back a Comet GT to my house!!! :bananaman :bananaman

 

I'm gonna look into that. He said he might still have all the original sales papers.

Awesome i am looking forward to it....:bananaman

 

great story

my dad used to own the mav i have now, along with 2 others.

But he didnt have much interest in it....so i got it

 

is the black and red car a mav or comet gt?

 

So did you ever get one?

 

Not yet which sucks. I ended up running low on cash and not being able to do much of anything. Funny though that this post popped up again. I need a mechanically sound car to make sales calls in but I'm not having any luck finding anything in the $2500 range (obviously). I was wondering though if it would be worth it to look for a Comet as a daily driver. I would be using it to make sales calls so I'm not sure it would be a smart decision. Anyone have any V-8 Stangs for cheap? lol

Also my dad is currently restoring an El Camino with his buddy so at some point I'd still like to find a Comet GT. At least he's occupied with the El Camino right now. lol

 

My 73 V8 Comet is my daily driver. I parked a perfectly good Cherokee in favor of it.

Bear Cat you say...mags, buckets, scoop, side exhaust...my kind of car!

 

Cool...I guess I need to make a post looking for a mechanically sound Comet then.
