    I think I can scrounge a few parts off of it. I just can't tell anybody what they came off of.

    How about parting my out the whole car. That looks nicer than most on the road. It would be a shame to disassembly a nice complete car.

    Doesn't take much to replace that hideous grill and hood.

    I checked the date - No, it's not April 1st.

    Surely he jests.

    There's a whole lot of grown men about to cry here.

    Ray, SWEET car even if it is a comet. Just when you thought you got out of it you pulled right back in. Whats the matter, the cobra just can't replace these cars can they? The Cobras are kind of like a chopper to a fair weather biker, of course you have much more good weather than us.

    You're right about the Cobra but I never got out of the Mavericks. Still got 7 including my Sprint and silver Stallion. However, I am considering letting my Sprint go. I just can't seem to get motivated enough to get out there and work on all these cars. Wouldn't be so bad if I had a huge shop to put them all in but I don't. I almost have the Stallion ready for paint so I gotta get that one finished. The Cobra has definitely slowed me down on that one.

    At first I though it might be a real Comet GT....but with power disc brakes....that would not be the case. Must be a 1976 or 1977. Factory AC as well. Gotta love it. Good find.
