    Once I saw it had a comet front bumper I just knew it was going to be just a parts car.:biglaugh: I paid $600 for it, our correct tracks are attached to those seats and no cracks are in the dash :yup: Then, I looked at it and saw underneath and realized this car probably did not come from the midwest and should be saved. The VIN last 6 are 100647. points to a very early 70. My plan is taking some interior, some chrome and the rear bumper over the next month or so and then offer it up here on the cheap cheap for a great project for some other Maverickteer. Let me know your thoughts. Joe

    Nice looking car. Looks like it would be pretty easy to restore. My first 71 Comet had that gold color interior. Really is a different look inside. - Matt

    Well, since it's a Maverick I would say restore it but since somebody put a Comet emblem on it might as well part it out...it's ruined now. :(
