    Hey Guys

    I've got a chance to buy a rusty 73 Comet GT pretty cheap. It's got a good dash pad, fairly good black bucket seats, good door panels, excellent headliner, excellent rear seat, auto floor shifter, nice sport mirrors, good glass, etc.
    No drive train.
    I'm thinking about using this stuff in my 73 Mav to replace the bench seats & column shift. I would have to re-upholster the seats or change my tan door panels & etc. to black.

    Any thought, ideas, suggestions?

    I can get it for $200.00, but the hood and trunk lid are rusty and the scoop is gone.(I need a trunk lid myself)
    I didn't know how hard it would be to change those rear inside panels. or that 2-part package tray. Plus, how hard is it to convert to the floor shifter?

    Its all bolt in/on stuff. $200 is a good price for all that.
