got my '72 GT home today...

thx for the support

 

Killer!! I love the red!

 

Anytime!!
How solid is the car? Inner fenders & torque boxes? Hmmmm....does it have a titile?

 

inner fender, torque boxes, frame rails, and almost every panel are in really good shape. floors have been patched and will need to be patched in one more place, and the outer quarters need work from a previous repair..... other than that, it's pretty nice as for a title, yup, it's rebuilt but it has a title

 

to beat it all.... i hate red

 

Saving grace is that it's a Comet. The fact that it's a GT makes it even better. It's kinda rough so get off of here and get busy.

 

Red with a white interior is good. Rare, too! However, Grabber Blue with a white top would look good, too. That would give you a pair of them.

Nice find.

as soon as i get my smurf "done", it'll be next. ive got almost everything i want for it already, just need to get it put together

 

btw, just took a look and it's a Dearborn built car. first one ive ever had

 

and the vin decode:

2F31F563799
2=1972
F=Dearborn, MI Assembly plant
31=2 dr Standard or GT
F=302 V8
563799=individual unit number
Body: 62B- Comet 2-door Sedan Standard or GT
Color: 2B- Bright Red
Trim: LW- White with Black - Ruffino / Corinth. Vinyl
Trans: W- C4 automatic
Axle: 6- 3.00:1
DSO: 32- Cincinnati, OH

 

Cool! It's got the 3.00:1. Everything I find is axle 3.

 

According to my research....all factory AC cars got the 3.00:1.

 

my '73 LDO Comet is an A/C car but with a 2.79 ratio

ive had a few of the 3.00's but most are the 2.79's.
the ones with the 3.00 gears have been:
'71 2dr 302/auto a/c p/s
'75 4dr 250/auto a/c p/s
'72 2dr Comet GT 302/auto a/c p/s
'73 4dr LDO Mav 302/auto a/c p/s
'74 2dr 200/3sp -no options-

 

Hmmmmm....that is interesting.

 

That's what happens to parts changers. YOU end up with the mixed up stuff
