    $700. The guy wanted $900. and within 2 min. talked his price down. Still have no idea why..but he did and I let him.
    Its a 200-6, c4 with 63,xxx miles. It runs like a new car and I drove it home that afternoon, about 75 miles. No problems.
    The Int. was shoot, bench seat (brown Int.) that I've changed to black with 73 LDO bucket seats and back seat too.
    I've got about $1200. in it so far.

    I still don't have it on the road, It could be but I still have a few things to do first. No rush.

    bought my first v8 2dr comet for $500 with no front seats no carpet and a bad transmission and YEARS of back registration. around $10k later its got a rattle can paint job and only one seat in it and a motor in the build process and to top it all off its still got 5+ years back registration fees. still has a rear end thats bleeding gear oil but the interior is all paid for the engine is almost paid for just need some little things yet besides the super charger.

    my second comet was a 2dr I6 car I paid $375 for and paid $125 for registration and found out it had a hole in the gas line when it broke down on its maiden voyage to the auto parts store the most expensive thing Ive had to pay for this car is the insurance every month

    my third comet I went 4 hours one way to buy for $375 it was a 75 4 door ac v8 car

    I still have comet one and two comet number three got parted out and scrapped
