ok, here a question about mercury comet,was there every a version of this car called a bear cat and if not was there every any ford,mercury in the 60's or 70's with this name some guy at work say's he remembers a friend of his had one. I told him I never have heard of this so if some can help.thanks
bearcat was a dealer prepped car, it had mag wheels and side pipes and maybe a rear spoiler on some and some decals on the front fenders, other than that it was not a factory speced car with any particlular options.
Don't remember that one:confused: When I read it I just figured he was talking about the Bobcat. Learn something new here just about everytime I check in
The Comet Bear Cat was a 1972 option only. As stated they had mag wheels with slots and the centers were blacked out. They had Thrush side pipes, with Bear Cat script on the rear upper quarter panels. Do a search for an article posted about these cars.
Forgot to mention the Bear Cat was only on the GT cars. No special engines or transmissions. 302 2v and either a C4 or three speed with floor shift.
The Bear Cat emblems appear to have varied in location depending on the dealer. The pic/postcard that Chuck Stalnaker provided for the MCCI shows it on the front fender below the stripe where 'COMET GT' is inscribed. Seth
Man look at how high that thing is. 4x4 Comet anyone? All it needs is the light bar on the roof and your ready to hit the trails. I think it could do without the sidepipes, fog lights and huge tires, but thats just me.
shorthorns thank for the reminder about the shorthorns I pulled out the old issue and look at it again and there it was I am taking it to work tomorrow to show them.
