    New old fart here from Nebraska.

    I have been playing with jalopies and motorcycles since I was 14, some 46 years ago. Decided I needed a Winter Project and picked up a 1974 Merc Comet the other day for $250.00 just for something to play with. Has a 250, automatic and air. Has been garaged all it's life and the 1/2 vinyl top and interior are at about 98%. Hadn't been started in 6 years but spins freely and should be an easy start.

    Looking forward to all the info on the forum.... thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the warm welcome: pics to follow. It is still in the previous owners garage. Have arranged to have it towed to my shop in the next week or so.
