    Friend of mine at work found these near his house .... Gonna try to find out if the owner will part them out ... Looks like a 71/72 Comet GT and a 73 Grabber ... Grabber has a good Rear Spoiler. They both have bucket interiors. 1973 is parked with windows down :(

    Hmmm.....probably black bucket seats in that lime green GT. The scoop may be intact.
    That is a shame that they let that one go so far.

    Looks like a roundtrack Grabber!

    2 Grabbers and a GT in the same fence?

    Although I'm a big fan of Mavericks I have no remorse parting them out as long as they have some rot on them. We don't have many repop parts for our cars. If we saved them all we couldn't save any .... Plus .. rust free Mavericks seem to be popping up a lot lately ...

    Dan, is it possible that you could get the windshield and rear window out of one of them without damage? If so, I would be intrested in them. Also if that is a GT grill and it is decent, I would be intrested. Gonna start on a GT clone this summer. :)

    Also let me know if the hood scoop is saveable.
