GBM is looking for another project car and hates to say it but might stray away from a mustang this time but not too far as hes a blue oval man through and through.
Anyways i called a add in the paper that listed 300 hundred restorable classics ranging from 1930-1972 i was skepticle as i talked to the guy but when we drove out to his place outside of town i was amazed. i only scene half of the stuff he had and i only had about 10 minutes of day light but he wasnt lying he had everything from a 1931 model A to international pickups to camaros and firebirds and vetts, a cobra shell, a 67 fastback, 1968 couger xr7 etc etc and on and on, its a lifelong collection of classic s he did nothing with and yes its all worth gold h
he wanted 15g for that fastback and it was rusty with no drivetrain and shotty interior.
anyways to the car im thinking of, its a 1966 comet caliente 289 auto its been sitting for a long time 30 years kinda thing, it reads 70k on the speedo and i belive it literally no rust (havent scene underneith yet and is resting right on the ground now) interior is really good just a good clean of this car and it would look good. comes with a parts car that is relatively solid also, it has no papers or keys i think the story is it rear ended somneone (parts car fixes that) early in its life and has sat.
the guy started offeres at 3g for the pair delivered. I am thinking on this one although would take alot more digging into shape of the underside and the registration issue before i bought.
what do you ya'll think of the comets? heres a pic of one http://www.geocities.com/kimscomet63/comet66.html

What sold me was the price--$600 (Craigslist find) mileage---70K, car was a six banger already converted to V8. Trailered it home and hotwired the motor (junkyard roller 5.0 from a 89 truck) and ran it long enough to know it would. Pulled the motor, swapped in the 331 six-pack from my 89 Ranger, had my trans guy go thru the C-4 that came with the car. Swapped the 8" rear to a 9". Stripped the interior, sold most of the dash components and A/C, P/S & P/B stuff for $100. 
Very little rust. Car is fast cheap and loud.
if you want his digits email me 
Many with trees growing thru the bodys.:damnit:
