Topic: 1976 Mercury Comet - $1500 - Schererville, IN

Perfect color, just slap numbers on there and crush the IOE.

Looks like a straight-6/auto. I don't think they did column-shifted manuals on these, did they?

Anyway, domination is imminent. Would be the first *real* Comet or Maverick in Lemons. Who cares about budget? It's a certified shitbox.

This one's an automatic, judging by the shift indicator on top of the steering column, but I believe the three-speed manual could be had in either column- or floor-shift versions.
