    I recently picked up this 1973 Comet. Obviously it has a Grabber hood, but I'm trying to determine what else has been changed.

    WOW!!!! Nice looking car.

    If it is a comet, it has all mav front end, front bumper, grille, and hood.

    Or if it is a mav, it has a comet taillight panel and taillights.

    My guess is it is comet, and they dumped the mid-size thicker bumper for a maverick front end.

    Its definitely a Comet. The small bumpers are throwing me off. Anyway if I can determine if its a GT? its a factory 302 w/ air.

    Hood, grille, & bumper. Very nice car, but I would have kept the T-bird.

    A hood lip moulding will help, but looks like a very nice car!

    Beautiful car, the hood has got to go. PM me and I'll give you my address. :). Seriously though that is one sharp car. Keep it the way it is.
