    Hi from Arlington, Texas! I've still got my first, a 1971 Grabber, for about 23 years now, and over 500,000 miles. And I just bought a 75 Comet, original 61,000 miles, but the block has a big "window" the rest of the comet is almost perfect.

    Welcome aboard, WOW 500,000 miles, I'd say it wasn't just driven to church on Sundays and the grocery store once a week, Huh??
    I'll bet the little Comet doesn't know what it's gotten into!!
