    Looks like a very good starting point.

    Did they do the hole in the hood with a shotgun? :biglaugh:

    one more never hurts :D :rofl2:


    but yeah, im gonna go ahead and drop my extra roller motor and C4 in it. i plan to use my '73 LDO comet as a parts car. if i keep it, im gonna repaint it. it had a white vinyl top but im not gonna put it back or anything. ill just paint the whole car, and prolly go with a solid black interior.

    btw, it also come with a full dual exhaust up and under with with flowmasters, new headers in the trunk, disc brake conversion, decent front and rear bumpers, new tie rod ends and a trunk full of other small goodies

    That looks like an original early grill with the stainless strips running horizontally.

    Nice find.
