How nice should a $4500 Comet be?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I didn't care for the spoiler either. He has some sort of Comet/Maverick parts catalog he ordered it from.

I think they are 15", but will have to double check.

 

here's my nickle.. Loose the spoiler, get a sport steering wheel, add a hood ornament, wider tires , paint or clear the scoop. Might also toss that holder contraption on the hump. And YES! I do like it.

 

4500comet

nice car just was lookin at the car on craigslist and u will enjoy this forum

 

Nice car from what I can see and what u've said. I wud give $4500.00 or somewhere close if I wanted it. From what I can see the rust on the bottom seems to surface rust. I have seen cars here for a few hundred bucks, but were rust buckets. If ur not well versed in metal work/body repair and have the skills and connections wud cost lots of money to repair.
Some of the folks on here have those attributes and do turn out fascinating results; but, for those of us who do not have those options - I say buy the best U can find and afford even if the price may seem a little pricey to others.
Things like the spoiler, str wheel and some other thing mention are merely bolt on cosmetic issues and can be changed in short order.
Enjoy ur Comet -- I am enjoyin mine...

 

" What do I want for a $4500 Comet?" For it to hold my hand when we go for a drive!

 

I agree with what most people are saying, i'd add some nice 15" magnum 500s, disc up front, ditch the steering wheel with a factory looking wheel, ax the spoiler, ax the console, ax the tach, add a dash cap and add the hood ornament.

 

I ended up backing out of the deal. If anyone happens to be interested in it feel free to contact me for a more detailed description of it.

 

Wow kinda cool that i found this, I actually ended up buying this car 3 days after you backed out of it. I love this car! Currently in the process of doing some work to it but its ran like a charm so far and cant find any issues with it thus far

 

I thought it looked familiar. Congrats on the score, did you get a good deal?

 

Thanks, yeah i picked it up for $4,000 and drove it home the same day. No one can believe what great condition its in and how cheap i got it for. The guys wife was anxious to move so when i offered 4k she made him take it

 

Congrats on the score! I knew it looked familiar too.

 

Hey, congrats man! I thought about calling the guy back to see if he ever sold it, now I know.

He actually got $4100 for it. That is after I gave up the $100 deposit. I'm glad to hear he sold it quickly though. I felt bad for backing out of the deal.

You got a nice car for the money man. I just knew if I bought the car I would have put a few grand into it to get it where I would want it. That would have made it a $7000 Comet, which I really didn't want to get into.

Anyways, what kind of work are you doing to it? Get rid of all those stickers?
