    It is a 4-door so I will probably part it out.......

    ........not really!! It is a really nice driver with a 250 6 cyl, Automatic, Factory AC, Power Steering and Power Disc Brakes. My plans are to add cruise control to it and it will make the 550 mile trip to the MCCI Roundup Nationals in 2008.

    You should try living in Louisiana. I've been looking for a cheap 2 Door Comet/Maverick but they seem nonexistent down here. I've been trying for a year...:rofl2:
