    just wanted to say hello from mississippi ive been digging around this site for years since i owned a 72 maverick grabber when i was 16 and was ALMOST the proud owner of a MINT 74 comet gt for $750, but i was young and dumb and everybody pushed me away from it saying "you need something more economical", well almost 10 years and many camaro's and tbird supercoupes later, ive decided its time to stop looking and drooling and find me one. my 95 cadillac sts got totalled out the other week so i'll have $3500 coming to me next week and i believe a nice grabber or gt would look nice beside my 69 c/10.....so i apologize to the ford guys about my chevy love heh.....i like most chevys and fords only "popular" ford i dislike is a mustang, sorry guys, but i at least have a desire for the mavericks and comets......so anyways on that note.....hello to all and i hope this will be a new home for me.....and anybody know where a comet or maverick is for a decent price up to $4k at the most id appreciate the help, but please nowhere 5 million miles from mississippi....dont mind leaving state, but not looking to make any more than about a 10 hr trip one way at the most and sorry for the long post.
