    I was walkin a salvage yard today and came across a white 74 comet with black interior, one small dent on left rear quarter panel(easy fix) tires were all flat and front seat is ripped up but body, glass and rear seat are good, even head liner. The old man is a friend and said for me $200.00. It had belonged to a lady he knew and said it ran 2 years ago but smoked...did I mention its a factory 302 auto? Anyway saturday morning it will be coming to its newhome in my driveway....number 3...so far...Jim (y)

    Good save! I love a nice fall walk in the junkyard better than a summer day at the beach. :D

    Ok yes I have title keys etc. It will need a good clean up, but looks like a nice builder. I always liked black interior. My wife wants it since it has factory air so I will be fixing it for her. Course I could fix it up for me and use mine as a weekend runner... Jamie I think I'll hold on to it a while... There are 2 more there too, a red and black 76 2 door and a light blue 75 4 door... I'm gonna try to nab them too...Muahahahahahaha!!!!!
