    It's been a great two weeks for me! Just added two more to the collection. Picked up a 73 Comet, 4-door, 302, auto. Runs and drives, need new top and paint, but looks preatty good. Also picked up a 73 2-door, 302, auto. The Come and this maverick definatly have their problems. The Mav, has no front drivers side floor, bad repaint, no brakes dosent run at the moment. The problem is, the guy started doing stuff to it, cragars, 4bbl, bought the grabber spoiler setup. But he let it sit, and its gotten so bad. The comet was a nice orginal car, but he let his daughter have it, and she didnt treat it the nicest. Still, paid only 650 ford the comet and 850 for the mav. Finally got that v8 fix!

    I think I am gonna keep the 73 Mav a performance type car, put duals, grabber spoiler, four speed? Three speed? If I feel up to it later on. The comet is going to the kid. He might want duals, he likes it more than I do.
