    [​IMG] 004_original.jpg [​IMG] 006_original.jpg Hi Everyone... My Son, Sam (Pinto7579 on Forums) recently bought this comet and is looking for a few parts... 007_original.jpg It is a factory 302 3 speed car. The guy we got it from says this is a factory wheel. We need one. Also a dark brown dash pad... and a passenger side sport mirror. Everyone was so helpful with mine.. thought we would see what you can come up with. Phil

    Not sure if you want a dash pad cover or not but there is a brown one on ebay right now. Kind of pricey at $111. You can get a black one for about $70, then paint it to match. They slip right over the existing dash pad in a few seconds. Gonna be hard to find a good, brown dash pad. Good pads go for $2-$300. Color ones are very hard to find. :)

    Thanks for the quick responses! I sent a private message to Maverick Maniac. I was also wondering if anyone had used or seen the dash slipcover used and if they look good... how they fit ect... thanks everyone. Phil & Sam

    I have a dash pad on my 70. It looks relly good. Unless you look really close it's hard to tell the difference.:)

    That's Orange interior, not dark brown. It would have a Black dash pad from the factory. Orange is one of the rarer colors.

    I am thinking about painting it a burn orange so thought that a brown or tan would look better than black..... but thanks for your input. Phil & Sam

    Not a Maverick but I have had the dash cover on my F100 for about 8-9 years now and am happy with it. Especially since a new dash pad was $500 when I was looking for one. lol
