    dont ever part with it if you do youll regret it. youll always be looking back thinking where it might be or if its even still around some where.
    I would keep the I6 in it since its your first car. fix it maintain it and drive it forever then someday after things start to get going for you buy another comet or maverick then fix it up while you drive that one still.

    treat that ol I6 right and itll give you another 20 years without any major repairs. change the oil change the oil change the oil then repeat. those old motors will run forever if you keep them clean inside maybe rebuild the motor stock with just fresh gaskets and youll have a car that will love you back for YEARS TO COME

    goodluck with it and have fun

    Nice looking car. The reason I wound up getting one of these is because of my older sister.Her first car was a '72 302 mav.& that color.I was 16yrs old.And by the way..my sisters name is Christine.How funny:thumbs2:
