    No such thing as a 1970 Comet. Didn't start until 1971 model year. Could have been BUILT in 1970...but would still be titled as a 1971.

    First of all, welcome to the board! :Handshake
    Craig is correct. No such thing as a 70 Comet. The vin sticker could say 10/70 but all car models are introduced the year before so it's very common for people to see their vin sticker and think that.
    Good luck on your search, whatever you wind up with.

    Cool! You had the only one ever built then. Too bad you don't still have it. :(
