    Rick, you da man!!!!!!!! Totally cool and you made the right decision. What is it about these cars that we feel compelled to own several?

    Thx fellas, I've known about this car for over a year, but the sellers description on collector car trader online was terrible... when i saw it on ebay I called and spoke with him, slept on it, then negotiated a price, he pulled the ebay listing and I picked it up today.
    It suffers from an identity crisis...it's actually a 72 Comet...which is what I will put it back to.
    It is a beautiful car.

    At next year's Round-Up, we'll have a race of the street machines.
    The drag car may be ready at next April's FFW. I'm looking to run in either of these two classes at FFW:
