Come on people get on the phone a buy one even if you need it or not. It’s not like buying one is going to put you in the poor house. I paid about $5 for my decal. We have a lot of people saying they want Maverick/Comet parts reproduced and now that we get a well established company that does quality work who went out on a limb to fulfill this quest and we treat them like this! No wonder we can’t have reproduction parts made for our cars. Jim Osborn made these decals with no money up front and with no minimum order required. I'm sure it had to cost big money for them to do this. Maybe if other companies who make reproduction car parts find out that these Maverick/Comets related reproduction parts were flying off the shelves then they might want a piece of the pie. Like I said...pick up the phone and order one or two to show your gratitude.
I got my decal today in the mail. I'm glad the 74 decal in now reproduced, definitely an improvement over my original rust stained, paint over-sprayed decal. Best $5 investment I spent in a long time.
Roger, the thread was basically to let Comet owners know the Comet Tire/Air Pressure decals were now in reproduction. As for the Mavericks, the 70 decal has been in reproduction for many years. Jeff mentioned this primarily because the 74 Maverick decal was dropped off by me at the same time I dropped off all the Comet decals because until now that decal was not available for the 74 model Maverick. Also, in the Maverick line, currently the 75 & 76 model Tire/Air Pressure decals are not in reproduction at this time. The attached photo shows the part number and price for the Maverick line, the only addition to this would be for the 74 model and the part number for it is listed earlier in this thread.
