    Hi folks. I am an older guy, but young in mind, retiring next summer. I am the Materials Mgr at a hospital here in Ontario.

    I am into hot rods, older Comets/Falcons/Fairlanes and 50's/60's F100's.

    I found this site and thought it was neat, lots of good stuff. I realize now the Comets/Mavericks are getting really popular, I had no idea.

    I saw an ad in a local paper last month for a 73 Comet for sale for $500.00, went in 3 days. Had a 250 in running shape. Had I realized I would have gone to see it. Even had magnums on it, damn!

    I sold my 64 Fairlane hardtop and I am looking for a 60's Comet. Love the 60-64 wagons.

    I never thought about the 70's before but like the 73/74 Comet 2 door.

    Take care, Doug

    Welcome to the board, young man. I retired 3 years ago. Good luck with finding a car. You can do a lot worse than a Mav or Comet.:Welcome:
