    This is a 1974 mercury comet I had bought from a guy in Colorado. He told me he was going to give it to some guy for a demolition derby the next day.
    So I decided to jump on the opportunity and buy it. That was something I couldn't pass up!

    Currently I am trying to fix it up to the exact original condition it was back in 1974. So far it has been going pretty good except for a few parts. If anyone can help me find these parts that will be greatly appreciated.
    The parts list will be up shortly.

    I also have some pics here for anyone who wants to see it!

    Just wondering because I saw the mountains in the background. Just go back from Estes Park, CO last Wednesday. On 7/7 my son spotted a Maverick sitting somewhere between Loveland and Ft. Collins.
