    Comet GT,


    Looks like a solid foundation to start with. Interior looks real good from the pics. Does it have the v-8? Have you got a line on a Grabber hood? The car I got from Old Guy is not a Grabber, but it has a grabber hood on it that looks to be painted the same color as the original. Go figure!

    Good Luck and keep us posted.

    Later,

    Hey Fellas
    Its a 302 -auto car . Its the one that you got the info from at the Va meet Dennis,
    I got his number from Katie after they looked at it.Little to rough for them I think. The interior is in decent shape except the dash pad and no carpet .
    later Tim

    Love those seats

    Wish I had seats that looked that good. They look like the originals in my Mav. I hope to find some like that when I get around to interior work.

    Congratulations on a great find!(y)

    Now don't go neglecting the GT just because you have acquired the more
    common cousin!

    Info

    Hey Folks
    The Car was originally the Light blue with Medium blue interior. I hate that color so I will probably go with Grabber blue with the med. blue interior.
