    Just looking for some opinions. I have a 73 Comet, 6 cyl. auto. Some rust, last run a year ago. Should I try to sell it whole, or would I be better off ($ wise) parting it out?

    How bad is the rust and can it be easyly repair without major expense? Is the engine still running good?

    These are some question you need to answer if its worth it to part it out or sell it.

    It's up to you, but if it's restorable, we'll all get mad if you part it. ;)

    I need that exact engine!!! Does it run well? I have the same car and I am having trouble finding an engine for it. If it works, how much do you want for it? Thanks!

    The engine is very good. But before we discuss price, do you realize we are talking about shipping an engine 3000+ miles across the country? If you are still seriously interested, e-mail me at breelline@aol.com

    Runs good. Bottom of front fenders are rusted, same with the doors, and the rear quarters over the wheels. Good hood, trunklid, bumpers, floors, nice interior. I'm guessing $500-700 whole. ??? parted out.
