    Yupper. Any 2 door Maverick or Comet trunk lid is the same for all the years.

    ALL 2 doors are the same and all 4 doors are the same. If your 71 Maverick had a spolier, it may look different, but remove the spolier and it is the same.

    Mavaholic is right...only two different decklids made. A two-door one and a four-door one for all Mavericks and Comets. The decklid spoilers did make them look very different though.

    ahh! theres the difference! my mav is a 2 door (no grabber spoiler) and my comet was (now crushed) a 4 door! so the 4 door model does not have a sharp end to it like the 2 door version, it has a more rounded look to it correct?
