    Hi everybody! To be honest, I joined with the hope of finding someone that could/would want my car.
    I bought a '71 comet from the woman who lived across the street from me. Her husband died and she needed money to move....so $3,000 later.....
    I took 5 joy rides and it has sat in my spare driveway ever since.
    I had these great expectations of buffing out the rust, getting new tires, etc....
    All parts on it are original, but the body, and unfortunately the interior (after finding that rain had been leaking into it) are in terrible shape now.
    V8 engine though :). 92,000 miles...4 door (I'm a woman, didn't know 4 door wasn't cool)
    Any takers? Best offer.... Space Coast/ Florida

    my mom doesnt understand that one either. she thinks much more highly of my rust bucket 4 dr comet cause it has a near mint interior i guess

    anyway, hope your comet finds a new home. pics would help

    good luck

    :Welcome:

    Probably have better luck selling it if you post some pictures of it. 3 grand for a 4 door with rough interior sounds a little steep IMO.
