    Just an F.Y.I.

    I ran across a solid red w/red interior '71 or '72 Comet in a junk yard in Tomball,TX today.

    The car is in pretty rough shape. I wasn't able to spend a lot of time looking at it.

    The hood was in repairable condition. The front bumper and rear bumpers are there (would need to be re-chromed or painted). The interior is shot. Both front and rear seats are there but not what I would call in 'good' condition. No gas cap. Again, I was rushed so I can't really give you anymore information. It has the 4-lug wheels. I do not know if this is a V-8 or not - the hood wouldn't open.


    For more information, call

    Yep! Going JYin' without a camera is worse then going without tools! :tsk:

    Man, sure would like to have the front bumper brackets off that car.

    Please forgive me for I have sinned.

    My apologies. I had no idea I was going to come upon the salvage yard. In an
    attempt to redeem myself, henceforth, thereto, therefore, heretocome 'n stuff,
    I vow to take a camera with me wherever I may rome.

    Ahmen.

    Lol

    It's not specifically because I want a picture of every maverick I see but I keep a cheap digital in the truck all the time. I got tired of rushing to deliver furniture and forgetting to take a picture or two. Comes in handy often, henceforth, forthwith, fortworth, etc.

    I gotta get out of the 17th century and get a camera phone.

    My old "Snickers Bar" cell phone looks like Moses might've received 10 messages
    from The Man on it, but it works great. I can get reception on mine when my g/f can't
    on her's (we both use Verizon).

    Coming from Cypress, I took Telge to 2920 through Tomball (about
    3 miles). "Charlies" Auto and Truck Parts" is on the left about a mile
    passed the B.J. Hughes campus on the right.
