    Hello everyone, I'm Jim.

    I just bought a 1975 Mercury Comet tonight. I am so excited!
    Now on to find a Chilton's manual! Or is it Haynes...

    I got it pretty cheap in my humble opinion - we're not sure if it runs yet, but I feel pretty confident being able to get her fixed and running.

    Thanks for having me!
    Jim

    Welcome to the Madness of Old Cars! You will find out what I mean by that soon enough. Looks like a very nice, clean looking car. What's the story on it? Been sitting long?
