    sold to me by a 68 year old lady who didnt want it after owning it for 17 years ,her son who was a mechanic kept it running for her .I bought it for 600.00 and insured it and drove it home the 302 car with rear window defrost ,power steering and power brakes runs like a top ,47,000 miles on the rebuit 302. Today im going to polish it and wax it ,it should look good ,it did have a black vinyl top but has peeled off ,suprizingly the roof is not rusted through anywhere.. I bought this for the complete v8 running gear for one of my 69.5 mav projects.

    Did someone put "Power Brakes" on it? Nice parts car, Comets are always good for that.
