    I was roaming around wasting time today and came across a comet 4 door setting unloved in a driveway. well anyway after talking to the nice lady she said it was a 71 but the problem I have is the trunk lid and the 1/4 extensions were rounded like the 75 I had it has small bumpers and nothing looks out of place. the lady said she bought it new and she gave it to her daughter a couple years ago so her daughter is the second owner. she says its original but the body contours are different than my 72

    are the 4 door cars all contoured like this? dsc01162_original.jpg

    That looks like a '74. The trunk lid & 1/4 extentions were different on the 4 doors.

    Is that picture your car or her car? because it does not look like a 71 at all.
