    Only saw 2 Mavericks for sale in the car corral. One really nice orange 73 and a Not even close to being nice 72. Didnt have a camera with me but I got some pics of the orange one with my cell phone. I'll try to get them up tomorrow. I found a couple of good deals. Got the back half of a NOS quarter panel for $60 (was cut vertically right down the center of the wheel well). Also found a perfect Comet grill for $30. One interesting thing I found was a set of these wheel caps. The vender said he took them off a set of Magnum 500s. Other than dirty they are in perfect condition. Kinda looks like a abstract Maverick symbol. I'm guessing they are some Chrysler design but I've never seen them before. Anybody know the exact application?

    i found 2 other comets out side the corall

    i spotted this comet in the lot. pretty much perfect but it was a 6cyl with big bumpers and thus i thought it was a little over priced

    this looked like a good deal. really nice ldo floor shift bucket interior but it looked like a horrible bondo fix above the windshield and a repaint where the top used to be

    see the trim? that mean it had a top right? the paint looked a little diffrent too

    Looks like the weather was nice, makes it easier for walking up and down those hills.

    No, just an Italian sausage, steak sub, cold cut and a bag of chips. I'm on a diet.
