Here is a Maverick at Autorama

 

Nice. What is that front spoiler you are sporting there?

 

I saw your car down there Friday, and have seen it elsewhere. It's a beauty.
I talked to the guy with the blue Mav. too, we were both bidding against each other on Ebay for those Fly front wheels a month ago. He won, I told him at least I made him pay more for them. He didn't think that was very funny.

 

Thanks for posting the pic's, Mick. Very very nice indeed.

I bet there surely weren't a whole lot of '71 GT's built with that specific color combo and options. At this level of restoration I can't see you not having one already but will still ask anyways.. do you have a Marti Report on this car?

Could you elaborate on production numbers for Green on Green '71 GT's?

 

Car looks great. Saw pics posted on Facebook. Curious, what is the paint code?

 

My car is a clone - it is a copy of my first car. I did get a Marti report but it was on the clone which was just a regular Comet with a 302 and air.

 

As far as I know it is Medium Green Metallic Code P Number 3462

 

Well the Comet didn't win anything at Autorama but I had a fantastic time. It's hard to compete with trailer queens and I don't have the cash to put into the elaborate displays. The Blue 74 Maverick did win first place in its class and a specialty award. It was absolutely unbelievable how many people stopped to talk to me and how many turning heads, smiles and pointing fingers I saw when people passed the car. The best comment I heard "These cars just don't exist - this must be a hologram"

 

I got the spoiler here on the forum. His username is spoilersbyrandy. Price when I got mine was $160 a couple of years ago. Don't know if he still has them or what the price is. You can do a search to find the thread.

 

The blue Maverick is mine. I finished it right before I left for the show. A lot of people talked to me about my Maverick, and many said they had seen the Comet as well. There were a lot of fans of our cars there.

And as far as the wheels, my maximum bid was $1500. I was really happy to buy them for $550.00.

 

Great job on your Maverick.

 

Great looking Comet
