    Yesterday I found a 75 Comet, 2 door over in Lake Dallas, 250 engine auto, A/C, cream color with brown vinyl top in good shape. It is supposed to have 39k miles. The interior is super clean but it does have some rust in the floor panels. IT also had 5 brand new tires. I just finished changing the oil and doing a grease job.

    Everything under the front end looks like new. I got the new car title and the window sticker. I have not decided yet whether to fix the small bit of rust or to sell it.

    The AM radio works good and that is all I need to listen to Rush and Hannity.

    No picts as of now, it was dark thirty when I got back.

    That's awsome. I have a 75 also, cept mine only has 2 new tires. :)
    I would like to see some underhood shots if you get the chance.

    Sounds cool, cant wait to see photos. Make sure you check the cowl for leaks. Rusty floor plans is usually a sign of a leaking cowl.
