CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
1972 Comet 69000 Miles 302 V8 & C4 AutomaticWhen I found this car about 3 years ago I was convinced it was a low mileage car. It had faded paint but a very straight body. The things leading me to believe it to be a low milage car are: the spare was a bias ply tire in the style of the seventies and the assembly inspection sticker was clear on the firewall. There was California a Highway Patrol inspection sticker on the passenger side windshield expiring in 1974. I remember the joke we told in the seventies: murphy's law says the later you were for work the more apt you were to encounter one of the random inspections. After you got a sticker at future inspection stops they would wave you thru. The factory interior is in the car with little wear to the seats, headliner and carpet. There are 2 small tears in the headliner about the size of the palm of your hand. It was running rough so I replaced the plugs and had the 2 barrel carb professionally rebuilt and now it runs excellant. The factory AM radio is working fine so it remains in the car. I had the front suspention rebuilt and the rear leaf springs re-arc'd. The car was in a minor front end collision and repair had been started using a hood, grille and bumper from a Maverick, a cleaner look. I completed the repair and had the car painted the factory color, Light Blue. Next I had the bumpers re-plated and repaired the factory air. It was necessary to replace the condenser, dryer and vacuum canister. The compressor and hoses were useable and it is blowing. Marc Marcoulides3890 Vista CampanaOceanside CA 92057
