    Form what can be seen of the pix, that car looks pretty nice for a $200.00 car. Is it driveable? Looks like more than a parts car to me; If I did'nt want it I wud sell it intact.

    If you change your story from 3-4 months to 3-4 years, 73 to 74, Comet to Maverick and $200 to $250 then we will almost have the same story. I thought I was buying a parts car also but ended up driving it.

    Same story here. I bought it as a parts car. 9 years later it was done.
