    Hello All. :tiphat:, Been lurking around for some time after a friend who wanted a Maverick key chain from me told me about the site.... but thats another story:cool:

    No, I don't have a Maverick or Comet, never did but have allways liked them. Alot of friends had them in the early 80's when in high school.

    Closest I came to buying one was back then, it was a nice dark red 72/73 Comet Grabber that was for sale, for $600 if I remember. Was parked in a drive way but nobody was home. I came back later and the car was gone. The next weekend I go to a friends and the Comet is in his driveway, his girlfriend bout it:rofl2:

    I drive station wagons and have 3, yeah I know it's not really your guys thing but the work for me as I have 2 German Shepherds.

    I really wish the Brazillian maverick wagon happened up here, I would really like one of those.

    I am a Ford guy at heart having owned several 67/68 and one 69 Cougar so I'm kinda familuar with your cars and if ever I have 2-bits of info I'll chime in.

    Where I live there still is several decent Mavericks and Comits running aroung, they just don't seem to come up for sale when I have $, and or one is worth the $.

    I know it's not the proper forum for this but here is whats for sale on Vancouver Island rite now.

    Welcome to the board. If it was a Comet it was a GT. Maverick had the Grabber. Welcome to the board. Maybe you'll like these cars enough to find one to play with. Nothing wrong with wagons either.:Welcome:
