==========================================================================
: I don't live there, but I would be interested in hearing why they think it is worth so much.
: : Yeah, I've only seen it for the last 18 months or so, but, at that price, it'll probably be for sale for another 4 years too...

: :
: : : Being just across the border in Indiana, I have also seen that ad for the $22,000 LTD. They have been running that ad for over 4 years now. I bet they haven't got one serious phone call!!

: : :
: : : ========================================
: : : : They must be on the same drugs that the people here in Dayton, Ohio are on who have a '76 LTD for sale. They only want $22,000 for. Kind of a steal, huh?

: : : :
: : : : : And they want $12,000!! (choke gasp gag)
: : : : : talk about alot of drug useage

: : : : : : I'd rather own a pacer than a mav, just can't find any. . . .

: : : : :
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : I've had similar experiences. In my college years ('86-'90), people
: : : : : : : : thought the Maverick/Comets were ugly cars. One guy in my school
: : : : : : : : even got featured in the local school newspaper for building a whole
: : : : : : : : farm scene on the hood and roof of his Comet. He used the ugly green
: : : : : : : : astro-turf type carpet, and glued model cows, barns, etc. He was quoted
: : : : : : : : as saying how he thought the Comet was the ugliest car ever made
: : : : : : : : (personally, my vote would have gone to the AMC Pacer--the goldfish
: : : : : : : : bowl on wheels).

: : : : : : : : Lately, though, I've been getting a lot of inquiries about my Comet,
: : : : : : : : usually to the effect of "I love that car!" or "I've never seen anything
: : : : : : : : like it--what is it?" I take the car into work every once in a while
: : : : : : : : when I haven't had the time to give it the proper exercise on the
: : : : : : : : weekends, and often have people asking about the car.

: : : : : : : : I think that as cars have become increasingly victim to "lookalike"
: : : : : : : : styling, the Mavericks and Comets stand out. Nobody has trouble figuring
: : : : : : : : out which car is mine when I take the Comet to work. With the exception
: : : : : : : : of Chrysler's new products, it seems most new cars all seem to blend
: : : : : : : : together, without anything to make them unique. That's one reason why
: : : : : : : : I love my Comet--there's nothing like it.
