    Well my name is Jeff and I live in Northern California. I am about to be picking up a 1973 Mercury Comet with a 302 c4. Has some body damage but nothing too bad. Interior is pretty beat. Runs and drives! Overall is going to need a good tune up.

    Here are some pictures.

    Thanks everyone! I am located in Tracy. I should have this at my house by friday. Once I have it here I will do a full inspection. Just curious to know how hard is it to find parts (performance and OE) and what about body parts?
