'72 Comet GT in my crosshares....

a friend offered his GT to me yesterday and ive been kicking around the idea of buying it. it's a '72, bright red car, factory white vinyl top, factory black & white interior, column shift, 302, p/s, a/c car.

it needs work and it's just a rolling chassis but has some extra parts with it. needless to say he DOESNT have an engine, trans, interior (seats but has LDO tracks), scoop for it. i know i should buy it but im just not sure. he's asking $1800 for the rolling chassis. do y'all think it's worth it???

 

$1800 sounds steep for just a rolling body with no interior. That body better be in really nice shape for that price. What would you do with the car if you bought it? Sounds like it was a sweet car at one time.

 

1800? Better have fresh body work/paint!

 

sounds like a nice project. But $1800, like every one else, better have little rust

 

if the body is really good its probably worth somewhere around $1800. sounds like a pretty well optioned car

 

yeah, it was a well optioned car. paint is dull and needs minor body work, and has a disc brake swap on the front already. if i got it, i dunno if i would build it for myself or re-sell it. i really dont need it but im gonna go look it over again this weekend and see what happens

 

just be sure that after you get back we dont have to use this lol...

 

well needless to say i ended up buying it, not for the above price but i got it never-the-less. he has to finish taking out the engine that was in it then he's going to give me a call to come pick it up. should have it sometime this week, then ill post pics

kinda weird me owning two comets, at the same time :confused:

 

If this keeps up, you'll have to change your screen name!!

 

i aint feelin it.... lol

 

Mean Mercury

 

Nah... How about "Crabby Comet"

 

Gee Don you have achieved so much since retiring.....10k plus posts

 

Yep. But that'll slow down since we got the new Goldwing.

 

anyone have a scan of their Marti resport on a '72 Comet GT? was curious how they listed it as an option (ie. GT package, etc.)
