    this is a comet GT black, buckets ,6-cyl, 3-speed floor shift with a ford 3 spoke steering wheel, has been in the woods for some time has several large rust holes, I think the hood was ok. he wants 400 for it, no title. I figure it has enough parts for the price. I looked at it last summer, he had 2 mavericks but his 17yo nephew got those. he called me around 9:00 tonight while working on the garage. I told him it would be about 2 weeks before I could get it.

    Well if it has a good hoodscoop and the bucket seat tracks and spacers, I would say you got your money worths.

    Well the guy called me late last night to say it is out of the woods and that I can come an look at it and decide if I want it. As long and it has all the parts on it when I last saw it it is worth the 400 bucks. I will be going down there either before lunch or early afternoon tomorrow. will post pictures after I get it to the house.

    A guy in my area offered 3 Comets the other day for $1500. One was a GT. There is enough parts among all 3 to make a good GT. If interested, drop a PM.

    The only reason I am getting the GT is the spare parts. Chuck might be interested in those.
