    LOL! Morbid, but well put! :rofl:

    I've sent one through no fault of my own (totaled in a car accident.)
    One more will be going when it's done being ravaged for parts. :(

    Comet sentenced to death

    Does aiding and abetting count?

    I sold my first Comet that was pretty hot with a 302 and a stick to an 18 year old, and it only took him three weeks to wrap it around a tree, passenger door first.

    He didn't have any "help" doing this ... just ran out of talent.

    So far, I've only sent 3. Of course any usable parts were taken off. Lots of people I know in the area, got some good free parts, before I had them hauled off.....including motors, trannies & rearends....

    One gave up it's life to save another.

    My sister almost killed a 69-1/2 coupe. Got stuck at a signal and a motorcyclist T boned the panel between the right wheel and passenger door.
    My dad and his friend bought a parts Maverick for $100, and sectioned a new rear clip onto our good front clip. Had to be about 1983 or 1984.
    Cut it at the windshield pillars and floor panel.

    So we used one for an organ donor and sent the two bad carcasses to the scrap metal yard.
