    Stopped on the way to the Rod Run yesterday and the guy behind
    the counter said his father has a 72 4dr to get rid of:bananaman, and then this morning I went to another yard and they are suppose to be getting 2 comets in sometime next week:dance:....and this yard usually lets me have parts at a good price.

    how do you guys find out about all these great junk yards? I'm here in southern california and either I don't know where they are hiding or there isn't many around me. Have yet to see a maverick or comet in a junk yard here.

    I know of a yard near Copper Hill, TN that's back in the old roads, way off the beaten path. The guy literally plays a harmonica and has an old dog that follows him around. Some very neat old cars there, I don't know how far back in the woods they go... He has a pretty decent 2 door '73 Comet, but everytime I stop by there and ask him what he wants for it, he tells me "I'll think 'bout it... come back later". :huh:
