    I personally do not own a maverick, or comet at the moment. The thought has crossed my mind several times to find one and fix it up. but that's not the reason I'm here...

    I came here in hopes that someone here may know the where abouts of a 76' maverick my dad had built up back in the day. I personally have not seen the vehicle in almost 15 years, last I saw it was in a garage in sterling heights, MI. It was his pride and joy, unfortunately he had to sell it a while back.

    some details that I can remember as I wee lad when he was building it...
    - corvette yellow paint job
    - red hand prints across the rear spoiler had "don't get pushy" in between. (fun fact... they were my hand prints from when I was a kid)
    - had a somewhat built 351W under the hood

    any help locating this car would be awesome!

    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada! The more info you can give us, the better the chance someone may have an idea of where the car went. @nateb92887 What years did he own the car? Do you have the VIN? I look after the Maverick/Comet VIN List here on the site. There may be a slight chance a succeeding owner may have been a member here?

    Good Luck with finding your Dad's old car...
