Well I sold my 72 Comet GT. Went to a good home and he had been looking for just that car and color for a long time.
So now we have a new one. This one I saved from the crusher in Cali. 1 owner, actually was a "little old lady". She is gone and I got it from her 80 yr old son. Had to bring it back over Donner Pass in the winter. Oh baby.
This is the 2nd Zephyr (yellow one) I've owned. 1st one,(blue one I ordered from Mercury) is still on the road, or I should say drag strip, now with a 541 in it replacing the 460 I put in it.
So this one is going to get a 351W.

Taillights are tough for these cars.
The lens is glued on an fall off all the time. That and sun fade.
Just got this one for $500. Very rough but saveable. Especially with a 302/C-4. 1 owner, 38K miles on it. No keyes for it so the real fun begins. Even a locked gas cap. Build date of 11/77.
