    1975 Mercury Comet
    Hi everyone my name is Nathan. I recently aquired a 1975 Mercury Comet. It has a Maverick front end on it. It's a 250ci and a c4. I'm pretty sure this car was owned by 1973Maverick357 as the previous owner said they bought it in Cookville. It needs paint along with some roof work (was a vinyl top). Plans are to make it a safe weekend cruiser until I eventually go V8 waaay down the road. I plan to take many more pictures tomorrow.

    Wow such a friendly board. I'll be sure to take a bunch of pictures tomorrow. Engine has a slight miss that needs to be addressed along with the choke needs to be plugged up. Also, does anybody know how to remove the center caps? I'm totally clueless and don't want to risk damaging them.
