Hello - Jr from Southern Maryland. Bought this baby 4 years ago and am always looking for parts and ideas. Looks like I found the the right forum
Just removed a BW 5 speed and installed an AOD from a 85’ mustang. Nice to drive an auto after years of shifting.

Hey, Jr.!
Cool car. Had an old girlfriend that had one. Drove like a bat out of Hades.
IIRC, she wrecked it. Long long time ago.

Welcome. Nice looking Comet.
Back when we were a 3 Comet family I owned a ‘71 GT, a ‘72 GT and my ‘64 Cyclone.
Both the GT’s were 302’s, one 4speed, the other C4.
