My dad gave me his 1972 Comet GT for my birthday a few years ago and, now that I have a source of income, I can finally begin work. I've wanted this car for as long as I can remember, so having it is one of the greatest feelings, even if it is a little rough. It has all the body panels and all of the interior, but it's scattered about. No engine and no transmission. Wish me luck in my quest.
from Northeast Pennsylvania Once you clean that up with soap and water, it won't be looking rough for long - I actually had moss growing on mine before I cleaned it up
You're lucky - mine sat outside in Pennsylvania on wooden blocks for about that same time frame - the wooden blocks collected moisture and rotted out some of the torque boxes - chipmunks created a colony in my rocker panels and the mice ate my headliner - plus the moss growth but only on the north side
It didn't hurt that the interior was redone sometime (I feel mid 90's? I remember seeing all the interior in it when I was young) and sat, some parts wrapped in plastic, under a canopy next to my uncles garage. The front seat were not wrapped and looked new after an intense cleaning session. Meguiar's works miracles.
