I have owned this car since Feb. 7,1984. It was my first car and I never wanted to part with it. I have been restoring it for over 2.5 years now. Time constraints have kept things slow. I hope to be done in the spring of '04. If you own a Comet GT, you are restoring one, need parts for one, have questions about them, drop me an e-mail. I love chatting about them.
Mine shared the parking lot in high school with 4 other Comet GT's and a couple of Grabber Mavericks-the cousin to these cars, so I am quite familiar with them.

What an amazing Comet. I just posted mine, if you want to take a look. Unfortunately I might need a hand getting parts, the poor Comet got written off.
