    Mavericks and Comets have different rear tail panels, and so the metal trim is different as well. Comets never had vinyl on the rear tail panel. Probably due to the concave curve of the panel I presume......and the total lack of interest in Comets in general. :D

    I do have one more very rare part to list. Inside rear view mirror that is mounted to the inside roof rail, not the windshield. I will get to the shop some time this week and get a pic of it to post.

    Why would you say that? It came off of a early 69.5 I got from the original owner, it had been parked in a field for about 25 years after a front end collision. I ask if it had been changed out and he told me it was there from the day it was taken off the dealership lot. I have also seen other pics of some 69.5s that also had it mounted to the roof rail. You know as well as I do that these cars never seem to amaze us. We find new things about them every day.
    But its what ever you want to think. I know where it came from.:Handshake

    It is not "what I think"....it is the truth. No Mavericks ever had a roof mounted rear view mirror from the factory. :Handshake
