    Mavs and Comets looked like that up here in the mid eighties. Bought a car that broke in half in 1987. Welcome to the salt belt.

    most of the ones around here aren't that bad. the one on the trailer is really bad and has been here since '80, and it's probably the 2nd worse one that ive had. the half of one that's in my bed, well it come from the Chicago area so need i say more :rolleyes:

    I'd say they were ready to go. I am guessing they weighed 3800lb altogether
