    OK everyone...I just bought this 72 Comet off E-bay...the guy was gonna part it out if it didnt sale and I just couldnt see that happening.
    Specs on the car...302 with factory air, AT on the floor, ps and pb and supossedly a 9" rear end. Inside of the car is supposedly mint...needs carpet cleaned.
    Minimal rust on the exterior...needs new vinyl top and driver door trim molding.
    It does run and has 66,000 miles on it.
    Here are some pics...its a 4 door...I'm gonna restore it for the wife.
    Cost: $450.00

    Providing it dosen't turn out to be a rust bucket, looks like it will make a great driver.
