    hi everyone, my name is joseph and i am 17 and i live in independece, Mo

    i just bought a 73 comet gt, it is my second car(my first one was a 76 maverick 4 door)

    I always want a nice mav or comet and when a friend of my dad's saw this one he knew it was the car for me


    the original 302 has a recently rebuilt and it has the orignal 3 speed
    it also has a new distributer

    it has craiger wheels

    it has a little rust in th passanger side truck floor
    it only has one of the original bucket seats so no one can ride shotgun but the back seats are in pretty good condition

    well i have a lot of plans for this car and i was lucky enough to get it for $900, i bought on wednesday and my dad's friend drove it home(i can't drive stick and my dad just had leg surgery so he cant shift very well)

    please post what you think of the car and request more pics if you want,

    Welcome to the board. If you would like to add it to the
    '71-'75 Comet GT Registry, e-mail me. Nice looking car.
    I may have a set of reproduction stripes for sale next
    week if you are interested. I could save you a little $$.
    Congrats on your new car. I got mine as my first car
    when I was not quite 16....back in 1984!
