The Old Family Car is a 1977 Comet

I just got the car home and I took some more photos

 

Stripes made it too fast eh?

 

Idk, maybe, (lol) I was turning onto a street with a speed limit of 30 so I wasn’t going over 15 when I was turning and the guy I t-boned shouldn’t have been going over 30

 

So, it will start, dad says that it probably flooded the carburetor when I crashed and that was why it didn’t start after the accident

 

so The guy that I bought the comet from said he thought he saw a comet at a salvage yard near his house, cross your fingers that it’s the right year.

 

Dang, sorry about the accident. The damage is confusing, the bumper shoved to the right, and the right fender is shoved in.

Best of luck fixing it.

Food for thought .... maybe you would luck out and find another Mav or Comet. You have a V8 there, so all the mounts and hardware are right there. If your car has front discs that could also be good swap material, and it also has a 5 bolt rear axle. It will drop into another Mav easy.

 

I've gained a lot of hope of the save-ability of my car since the accident. This is what it looks like now. It most likely needs a new fender, grille, and brackets to hold the bumper on and it will be out on the road once again.

 

the bumper cough the tire of a lifted pickup and the fender cough the bottom of the cab if that helps you understand the damage better.
