: A friend of mine has had the same sentiments regarding
: Comets and Mavericks for years. He is really not mechanically
: inclined, but likes to think that he knows about cars. He asked
: me to go with him to look at a '70 Nova SS fixer upper that he was
: considering buying. It was all original, vinyl top,
: faded red paint, bench seat, column shift A/T. Granted that the
: 350 4V it came stock with would smoke my stock 138 HP (from factory)
: 302 A/T Comet GT. But, I've got a cool scoop-Not HVAC floor grates
: like the nova SS. I've got high back bucket seats and a floor mounted
: shifter-not Grandpas bench seat and boring steering mounted shift.
: Mine came with blacked out panels and a sporty stripe package, not dull
: looking pinstripes.
: It is funny, when I go to salvage yards, I don't even need parts-just like
: to browse-The guys tell me that Mavericks and Pintos are the first cars that they
: crushed when scrap metal was selling well a few years ago. It's a
: shame that people don't see the value compared to the inflated prices
: of Mustangs. I know....we need someone to make a movie featuring a
: Maverick or Comet!
I have both, and niether is cheap!
