And here is why: :wink:

Sure beats the model in the current XR7-G ebay ad thats getting all the interest in the forums. Is the Comet for sale somewhere?

What Comet?

4

Nope.

The girl is Jill Wagner, the former Mercury spokes model and host of Wipe-Out.

Looks very clean and straight. I doubt any body work has been done. Looks garage kept and low miles. I would guess about a 1980 model?

6

Yup, very nice … umm, comet!!!

:open_mouth: It’s like one of those puzzle pictures. If you stare long enough the Comet comes into view. :thumbup:

I’ll be durned! You’re right!!!

I think it is a 1979. Not sure on the Comet.

10

Nope, still doesn’t work for me.

January 13, 1979 is her birthday. The year I graduated high school. :shh:

11

So she’s younger than me and older than my wife? Yeah, that’s about right.

12

There, fixed it for you. :smiley:

13

I believe the '79-'80 model has the good rear end as well. As far as the steering, the recirculating ball system was done away with in '78…this one has the nice rack setup.

14

Really love that grill!!! Wonder if them headlights could be vacuum operated?

15

Badda Boom! You guys gonna be here all week?

16

I’m not quite sure why you would be interested in hideaway headlights on this particular model. :smiley:

17

Wait till you turnem on!!!

18

Nice cougar in front of that comet.

I dont get it, I still cant see it… do you have to turn the picture sideways or something? I may have to put this on my comp’s wall paper and look at it a bit more…

LMAO…and here I’d been bypassing this thread, as I was afraid I might find another CAR I wanted…
