    O.K. that makes since. It makes me think back about 16 years ago i remember seeing two blue Mavericks / Comets that were the same in every way. Right down to the colour (blue), small bumpers, ride height, blower and both were tubbed. I would see both of them about 2 weeks apart over the years. I (foolishly) thought the guy was changing the hood , grill and taillights around from Maverick to Comet just to be different. And no i didn't know at that time that the taillight panel was different and would make it to difficult to change the taillights. I finally figured it out one day that it was two different cars that looked the exact same - one Comet ,one Maverick when i saw both of them within a half hours time while i was driving around with my girlfriend. That was way back in 1993. Damn i wish i had some pictures of those cars, they were both stunning. Funny thing is after that day i never saw either one of them again.:burnout:
