    Hey fella's, just bought a 72 comet GT. Shes a 302 auto, with no rust! Lets just say in North Dakota, that is rare in itself. For what it cost, lets just say I stole it. Its a crappy pic(cell phone). Hope to have more pics when I pry it out of his garage in the next week or two. I want it now, but it's just to wet. The other pics are of my Torinos, hopefully not to off topic.

    Thanks guys. The White Torino was a 3 year project. All eccept for the stripe was done by me. It runs a worked over 390 with a 4spd, trac loc rear 3:50 gears, with a black interior with bucket seats. The 71 was bought as a shell, with perfect orginal interior. just had to put a 460 in that one. The blue one is a 351CJ 4spd that is Factory. I have to say the 68 is my baby. Really getting a soft spot for that Comet though.

    Another pic of my 68's motor. It's a 390FE with dual quads and many other mods. 450HP 480torq
