    Are you sure it's a '75? It kind'a looks like a '74.

    Thanks to all again for the warm welcome. I have been reading alot, questions im sure will be coming soon. First Im working on deciding what I wish to do with it and how far to take it on a restore. (Champagne taste, beer pockets!)

    Way small...Thats just crazy!


    Lots of work, but have determined its not a hopeless case... glad to save it from the junkyard. Got it a little more together this week: basic tune up & bath, bulbs, fender, light bezels on, rag top off. Now at least I can dive it :)


    Title said '75 & door vin says 4/75. Unless your being sarcastic, because I still think they all look alike! What (if any) were the changes from '74 to '75?

    I wasn't being sarcastic. It's obviously a '75 according to the door sticker. I asked because I had a '75 Comet and the speedo only went to 100, and yours goes to 120. I thought '74 was the last year for 120, but maybe Comets and Mavericks differ on that.
