THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN BELLEVUE WA. WHICH IT SPENT ITS WHOLE LIFE UNTIL 2007 WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN TO NAPLES FL. ON THE TRIP FROM WA. IN ALABAMA SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE 289 V8, NOT SURE WHAT BUT MY FRIEND HAD A BRAND NEW 302 V8 INSTALLED AND ONLY HAS LESS 1000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO NAPLES FL. IN 2007 AND WAS'NT DRIVEN AT ALL BUT STORED UNDER HIS CARPORT. WHEN HURRICANE WILMA HIT THE WEST COAST OF FL. THE CARPORT WAS DAMAGED AND PARTS OF IT FELL ON THE COMET AND THE WHOLE CAR WAS PAINTED. THERE ARE 140, 919 MILES ON THE CAR, IT IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE 302. THE INTERIOR SHOWS VERY WELL FOR ITS AGE WITH TWO HOLES IN THE BACK OF THE FRONT SEATS.
