    Well this is my first time on any kind of forum, I have had my 1974 Mercury Comet, (4 Door) for 4 years now, I am the second owner, factory 302 automatic, standard 4-wheel drum brakes ,no air conditioning, all original ,never repainted and never winter driven 55,250 miles. only had 45,000 on it when I bought it, from a little old lady (Honestly 68 years old,only used it to get groceries) Saw it listed in the local paper for $1600.00 Canadian. Went to look at it with cash in hand,when she started it up you could hear the v-8 under the hood, poped the hood and sure enough,302 v-8 with all factory stickers in place, bought it on the spot. Will get pictures when I pull it out of the barn this spring ,wont be long now!! I see a guy named Stephen lives in Montreal I 'll have to get in touch with him, he is only an 1.5 hours away. Later Jim.
