    There was a lime green comet gt for sale at a car lot about 10 miles from my house about 5 years ago.It was there about a month, sold on ebay but I still look at that lot every time I go by, He was asking 2500 , it needed a little work but I would have liked to had it

    Was working on the Comet yesterday, and managed to get a few shots before it started raining. Don't really know how I'm able to show them in the thread so I just uploaded them to my gallery:)

    Also, I was kinda wondering about something;
    I was going to put the p/s pump on it again, but after a while I found out there's a part missing, a bracket of some sort to be more precise, between the pump and the enginge block :huh:
    Does anyone have a pic of how it looks like? I most likely will have to fabricate it myself, as the only Ford's at the junkyards over here are Sierra's end Escorts:p

    Damn nice car!!! I'm sure someone on here could find you a bracket. A lot of cars being parted out these days.

    Thanks, sure love it myself:D
    Was kinda thinking; wouldn't that bracket be universal, like for all sbf's?

    Also, would anyone happen to have a copy of the Chilton Mav/Comet manual to spare? Realized I really need to get that as well:)
