    purchased from a forum member that is pretty close to the house. it's has some issues that made us decide to use it for parts for another comet body that he found. this car is a:
    '71 Comet GT
    302
    auto
    p/s
    a/c
    floor shift
    bucket seat (comfortweave grey gold)
    am radio
    3.00 axle ratio

    it's has some serious rust issues. the pass side front frame rail is gone, battery apron is gone, strut rod crossmember is gone, dr side apron is gone, core support is damaged, front floors are rusted, rear floors are rusted, dr side cowl is gone, trunk is rusty, dr door is rusty, hood is shot, etc...

    it may be easier to name the good parts :oops: but it has some nice parts and was a nice car in it's day. below is some pictures....

    The true early GT grills had stainless trim across the 3 horizontal bars.

    I'm actually looking for a broken one so I can get it cheap. I want to examine the horizontal bars closely. But let me know either way.
