    Just bought back my first car, a 1977 Mercury Comet 2 door 302 v8. I hadn't seen the car for over 15 years. I am the second and forth owner. It had 32k when I first bought it, now has 113k. Wish me luck on the restoration.

    :Welcome:

    Thats cool that you got it back after so long. My mom had a '77 Corvette from 1978-1989. She put over 250,000 miles on it and basically just drove it into the ground. We recently found it at a car show fully restored to show room condition after not seeing it since 1989.
