    the plot thickins here's one of his emial repsonses, "here some more pics it is a maverick coverted to a comet with bumpers and hood title says comet so i list as comet"
    Picts show small bumpers, but door panels look like comet seal on them

    clearly somone has lost the Maverick title and used a 73 donor to title this thing, hmm guys this seems like a possible grabber underneath, I'm asking for the VIN.
    what makes a Grabber vin stand out? It has a 6 cyl, wish I could post the picts here but I cannot car is white with wierd light redish cloth red cloth, I have never seen before small bumpers fornt and back and it also has mav hubcaps, I am only seeing picts here but body is pretty dang straight,

    has small front bumpers too,

    They are too big to post,

    To summarize looks like basic maverick with a grabber hood, black full vinyl top has Red door panels and red panels in the back, with wood grain but not sure if it is steer head or comet medallion, The back end has some other non stock kind of raised spoiler on it, not a grabber ducktail, and the quarter extensions are stock maverick, Maverick hubcaps

    The top portion of the door in the picture is dark maybe black in color as is the door jamb, black headliner I think, definately the area right above the red panel with modeled armrest in back is black the valence up front is black too. Seat belts are black too, woudl there haqve been black seat belts with a red interior? Seems like someone has swapped in a red interior in a black over white Maverick with a black interior. Dash is black too

    I bet it is a grabber, and he thinks that since it looks "almost" like a maverick, it must be a comet.

    But then there is the 73 issue, and the small bumpers...

    Email me the pics and I will post them for you. scooper@shilohtreatmentcenter.com

    he says the title says comet , but the picts he posted say Ford Comet?? the quarter extensions look stock not like a grabber.
