    Yea, I guess it all depends on how you define "same". The license plates are different anyway.

    Whats the "same" 2 restored to the way they were built? 2 that have 347's? or 2 that are the same color?
    Very few I've seen are ever the same. You can only do so many things. :huh:

    All three statements seem to contradict one another?

    I personally drive my car as much as I can. It gets more thumbs up then any other car I have owned. But I have kept my car as original as possible. I personally think that they look better that way. Yes mine does have the 302, so I am happy with that. But if it was a six, well then I would mod it to my liking.
    It is nice to see how many people have different tastes. And what they like to do with their car.

    I highly agree with Original Colors Ect... just makes The Cars look. right .. luckily i kept my Grabber Completly original but with fuel Injection... as im getting older im starting to hate Grant steering wheels, B&M shifters ect...i prefer a stock Maverick with a nice Engine for driveability.

    I'd say the Richart's are about as close as you are going to get, and one is a Maverick and the other a Comet!!
