    Hello all!! I just picked up a 73 comet today..auto/302..2 door..I have not yet been able to pick it up but I was curious..The guy said it had disc brakes..Was that possible in 73 ? All the information on the web said disc brakes didn't start still 74..Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks Bill
