    Happy hunting and good luck....I know there are a bunch of Canadian members. Possibly they could lead you in the right direction.

    Welcome, that is a nice looking 4 dr. Looks well worth the $2500. I'd pass on the Comet at $1500. You'll have to put a lot of work into it. Unless it's a v8 car and has a running motor. There's lots of others out there with good boddies on them. Also if you go to look at them, take some water with you and pour it down into the cowls. If any comes out under the dash, Run away as fast as you can. This means the cowls are rusted out and that is a big job.:)

    Thanks for the great start guys. The Comet GT is a 302. Have not seen it up close but the pedal wear and steering wheel wear makes me think it is likely high mileage.

    I reckon the red one may have been re-painted but out of curiosity, did the GTs not have the black striping on the side?

    Yes, GTs always had striping down the side. The stripes came in more colors than just black, though. (y)
