    Owned a 71 Comet 71 in College
    Growing up my sister and I shared a 1970 Comet GT. In 1978 a drunk driver plowed in to the rear while it was parked, totaling the car. I've been thinking about trying to find one for a couple years now and there don't seem to be many options on line. Any ideas where someoone can find a stock or close to it '70 or '71, GT model preferably red on red but paint and carpet is cheap compared to the card itself.

    :tiphat: Welcome to the forum. There are always good project cars floating around on the forum, and the occasional get-in-and-drive cars. Keep your eyes open and something should turn up for you! (y)

    Welcome to the forum!

    Like you, I also had one when I was younger and was in search of another when I wandered into the forum. Within a few weeks I had found and purchased (but still need to go get) my '72 Comet GT project, so I can honestly say you are in the right place.

    I'll also say that this forum is one of the most informative places with some of the best people I have found on these cars!!!
