New comet owner

[Bluecollar comet]

Hello comet fans. I bought a 62 comet yesterday for my teenage son who wanted a classic for his first car. The body is rust free and living in new england thats rare. So rare i forgot to ask which engine it had. I dont have it home yet but have the vin. Is there a website i can use to decode the vin and see what we got? Thanks !

WELCOME..when you find out more info on the little comet..be sure and share it with us...and that was smart thinking to put him in a car like that for his 1st car....make it safe and sound and that little comet will deliver many miles,,for years to come.......altho a man can tear up an anvil if he tries hard e'nuff good luck and enjoy.........OL POP

Welcome aboard! Here's another link to the same information for a 65 model. It's from the same website as Loner posted, but for some reason, the 62 info doesn't show an example of the warranty plate or VIN numbers to help you figure out how they are arranged. It might be helpful when using the 62 info to figure out what you have. Good luck with your father/son project.
