Guys in my teens My first car was a 1973 Maverick, 6 banger with 3 on the tree, it sure didn`t look like this, man brings back memories, this thing is stunning, you just don`t see these, then I bought a 1972 Maverick grabber, the baby blue with the stripes, 302 auto, I almost forgot about them cars till I seen this, this is a rare find, I haven`t seen a Comet in 40 years, love the cars guys.
We read a road test in a vintage SSDI magazine on one of these, back in the day. It was a stock 302. Just for fun, they unbolted the front stabilizer bar and clipped the rear springs. From a standing start, it would pull the front wheels off the ground, no sh1t.
Bought one of those brand new in '74. 302 3 speed on the floor all factory. The only thing I did was put a performance exhaust on it. Last year of the no cat cars. I traded it later on. Was always sorry I did; Nice GT!
If you think black and silver looks good. (And it does). You should have seen the Grabber Blue. Beautiful color combination. Had a great friend that had one. It had a built 302 3 speed. He out ran a few of the big block boys. Nothing like American muscle!
I have a 1974 with 70 bumpers, built 302 numbers matching and a 4 speed mustang trans completely rebuilt, it also has original paint with 48 thousand miles no rust asking 33,000 Canadian.
If you own a Maverick then you know about the comet . I had a grabber maverick orange and white with bucket seats (302) I pick it over the Comet GT . It was the same car the Comet was made by Mercury / Maverick by Ford .
A dual point distributor Doug Thorley headers 18 in 3 inch collectors ( modified purple horny mufflers / shortened n’ hollowed out ) electric fuel pump traction bars hurst shifter 4 speed tranny was how I modified a gold gt just like it car would scream 1/4 mile love that car 👍✌️❤️

Then in late 70 80 change the name to Ford maverick smaller body with 4 cylinder due to the gas shortage between Iran opec and united states why they was making compact cars big auto companies in those years worst history in the automobiles industry

Can’t beat a BADA$$ Merc!!!

Back in the 70s my cousin had one. We raced a 340 duster repeatedly and it was always a draw. Great night!
Very cool!
I had a baby blue one in hs.
Black stripes down the side chin spoiler deck spoiler cragars.
I miss my childhood.
That was 1982.
very nice car. I had a 75 picked it up in Austin , TX. this car was super clean. this was a AC car. it still had the orange and black stripes.
Beautiful Car. Takes me back to some good memories
I've seen comets before but never a gt or this nice Awesome find

Yeah Man, I've never seen one of those before. It's really cool. The sound really hammers through the exhaust!
What a gem! Well done boys! 🔥
I love those and the maverick. Great car and it is something different
Wow beatyfull sound

2nd day installs on this. 4 or 5-speed manual, and 3.50 traction look gears.
Rock the Rocker Arms💪👍🏁
The only one on the market 😊
I had a 70 maverick for my first car so i love that body style and this car is so Beautiful
Cool car
That doesn't look like an aluminum radiator like it says in the description... but the car is definitely sweet.
Yeah own 2 mercury comet GT’S one is a Canadian with a factory ordered 302, 4 speed
I got my all original comet
Decided to keep it
I posted a video of it

i've seen comets before. but why only a 3 speed?
Try putting headers on it with that 3 speed. Maybe things have changed, but in 1986 it was impossible.
Sweet car
What are the seats out of?
Ive o wned a couple 1 had a 428 4spd it was wicked
Never seen that shift pattern before I can see why it died off.
Is it for sale and how much?
How can you not know what a Maverick/Comet is? They made a kazillion of them.

I owned a 73 Comet GT. Loved that car until it got rear ended and totaled. 😢
Nice car no doubt about it. But that price tag though ….
Somebody needs a little stick training
I was going to say maverick first
But the merc is just a little more up scale
Probably an automatic… 88% were sold with automatic
What’s the price?
42,995

I had a white and blue version of this and it was destroyed by a drunk driver.
Its still a glorified Maverick

You’re right bad times for the auto industry looks like we’re going down that road again . Paying the price

The Maverick came out in 69 ( as a 70 ) and made till 77 not 80 . It never came with a 4 cylinder . Straight 6 or V8. It got Replaced by the Fairmont.
Beautiful car n I love the sound of it ty great video
