    I just moved from St. Louis to New Mexico.

    I found a 1974 Comet GT (yellow). I went to look at this car, adn there were some disappointing things...like the car has sat forever...but it may have been underwater at a point. There was mud everywhere, the interior was shot, and there was a 6 cyl under the hood. I have pictures if you need them. The only rust is at the rear of each wheel well on the quarters.

    The 6 cyl was the deal breaker...very low asking price. Anyway, the car has the sport mirrors and the hod scoop in tact. THe hood was damaged. If interested I can give the information for the owner (who is a teenager) with a new baby. So the price would not be high for parts.

    Car in is New Mexico

    :) Yeah, I saw this posted on craigslist $1,500 I don’t remember him saying it was an I-6 and your mentioning of the mud found everywhere would worry me. I hate to see a GT parted out.

    :huh: Calm down straws if it wasn’t on CL then there was a yellow one a lot like it in AZ for $1,500.00 other wise it was on CL AZ, NM, what’s the difference? See Albuquerque, NM Craigslist 74 Comet GT looks very simular.
