    77 mercury comet
    Hi my name is Dane and I bought a 77 mercury comet 2 door with the 250 I6 may of 2004 for $200 from my church, apparently the owner passed away and the car was left in the church parking lot. I talked with the pastor and the deceased father and worked out a deal. It ran fine for half a year except for constant overheating issues and eventually cracked the head. I found an 85 5.0 out of a fox-bodied mustang in running condition for $100 and now I'm in the process of sticking that between the fenders. I'm sure ill be bugging you all for help whenever necessary.
