    Yes, I believe the only main difference is the hood and grill.

    bumper

    The big bumpers are the same but the small ones are different, they have the curvature of the grill and bumper.

    The back ones are the same too but if you have the bumper guards, they mount in different locations. The Comets are closer together.

    Some are alike...

    While the '71-72 Comet front bumper is different
    from the Maverick, the '73 front bumper is the
    same for both cars and unique to '73 only.
    '74-77 are the same for both cars.



    Tim, did you go to Person Co. Dragway?
    It looked like rain so I didn't go.
