    Not yet. We did get snow on Halloween last year though!

    Even though the snow isn't here yet, they'll probably start salting the roads in the next week or so, just to make sure nobody's car lasts the winter.:rofl2:

    You might have to download the photo and use your picture viewer to zoom in but I found a early white Comet GT on Thursday in Northeast Pennsylvania - hood scope intact :)

    I found two mavericks in a junk yard yesterday. I got the back seat out of the white one and it's in really good condition for its age and the fact it's been sitting in the junk yard for god knows how long. The green one has been there so long you would have to cut down those trees to get the doors open!

    Get the hood scoops as well.

    Get it anyway. Extra extensons pop up from time to time.

    I could use the small piece of rear spoiler that goes between the extensions and bumper. I think i can see them in there.

    Any old regular 2-door 1970-1973 Maverick has the same ones. I have them if you need them.
