Will Comet tail lights fit on a Mav?

I really hope this subject hasnt been done to death Will they fit? anyone have a Mav with Comet tails on it?

Thanks,

AC

 

Yeah, they fit....after you cut out the rear panel to accomodate them...

 

my son has a 70 mav it has mercury bobcat taillights on it and they look super!!!

 

Actually I believe they are taller than the Maverick tail lights so they might hang over the raised area. I'll have to measure them this afternoon after work.

 

I believe you're right, Dennis. A bit of fabrication work on the rear panel and you could make them work. I can't recall if anyone has done this already or not. I do know that the Bobcat and Shelby tailights have been addressed in the past.

 

Hmmm...guess Ill check into the whole Bobcat Shelby thing then... Its a shame, I really love the look of the Comet lights. But not enought to swap out an entire tail panel.

Thanks,

I just looked, the Shelby/Cougar tails are seriously righteous. I would prefer Comet tails, but dang, those Shelby lights are nice.

I think Dennis has '67 Impala tail lights in his Sprint. Looks killer...

 

I prefer the stock Maverick tail lights.

 

Yup.......the raised panel is right around 4 3/8" and the Comet tail lights are 5 1/2" tall.

 

Crap. Oh well, it was just an(unoriginal) idea. I was only wondering because my drivers side light is bent and needs to be replaced anyways. I figured I may as well check out the options for replacements.

Thanks alot for measuring

ac,
if you want the quick swap with no mods. at all, even the bulb sockets are the same go with the "pinto" tail lights. they fit so well they look like they came on a mav. from the factory ... i have set on my 77'. if you need a pic. let me know...frank...

 

Frank, sure I'd like a pic of them if you dont mind.

Thanks.
