Beg1999 gave me a call and I met up with him to see his Comet at a local car meet. His Comet is in excellent shape as it has not been winter driven and he added duel exhausts and chromed mags.

I didn't realize the age of this thread until I saw the reference to the Auto Show - from last year!! I must have missed it then. My home is just north of Toronto; Schomberg. A Comet and a drag race 6cyl Maverick in the garage. Dave Turner
No Problem...glad you brought the tread back as we need more Mav/Comet owners up here in the Great White North (don't forget to put yourself on the "Frapper" maverick map, eh!)
Wow, it has been a while since I've been on this site. I just dusted off my Comet a week ago (been sitting in a garage for the last 4 years!) and decided to part ways with it . It is located in Calgary. So, if anybody is interested or know somebody interested in taking it off my hands PM me. It is blue, new upholstered leather seats, automatic with a 351W engine. PM me.
Well even though this is an old thread, what the hell....... Mississauga Ontario, 1976 Mercury Comet, with a Maverick front end, why just to be different. Yee -haw
Yukon Just bought a rusty 71 Comet GT with factory 302, auto floor shift, grabber green (lime green). Rust hole at left driver's foot, rear quarters and on top of the rear wheel fenders. Been sitting for 12 years. Oil in engine is kinda clear, transmission totally red, and looks like the previous owner put tranny fluid in the power steering. Glass is perfect. All chrome in place except trim around rear wheels - but I can see no evidence it was ever there? Any know if they had chrome around the rear wheel wells. thanks Peter
Yep they did, my '76 Comet did when i bought it off a little old lady in 1993. Welcome to the board and where are you located? Oh yeah and when you can please post some pictures of your rusty Comet. Hey just think, you just saved another Comet from the bone yard.
whitehorse yukon territory Cold winters, short days, plenty of time for garage work. Thanks for the info. know where I can get a grill for a 71 gt?
Look here on the board at the different sections. Just start at the top and work your way down. There is a parts wanted/ for sale section, when you find it, put out the word, your on the biggest Maverick/Comet board around, someone somewhere out there has one i'm sure. If that fails then try your local swap meet or bone yard, cause you never know what you might find.
