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 👍✌️❤️
In the U.S this car is Mercury , Ford made the Maverick , Mercury made the Comet ☄️ , they're sister company's ! Fords high performance version of this was the Grabber ! Alot of companies did this back in the day , Examples? 67 Camaro and the 67 Firebird has the same body style just different tail lights and grills up front , same thing with Dodge and Plymouth , The Dodge Demon & the Plymouth Duster are the same cars 🤔😂🍺😂✌️👍🔥🔥
@@OdditiesOffcial I Know that my friend , they're based off the same platform is all I'm saying , The Mercury Comet and the Ford Maverick are not identical , they're both produced by the same company ! The Maverick and the Comet share the same body style , they share the same drivetrain! I'm grew up in the Muscle car era , being a mechanic/Drag racer I know my cars ! Google the Ford Pinto , take a long look , then Google the Mercury Bobcat , it's the same car just dressed differently , taillights , trim , grills etc etc etc ! Bonus ? Google a Chevrolet 67 Camaro vs Pontiac 67 Firebird , same car different features , both Built by General Motors Co 🤔😂✌️👍
@@CoyoteClassics cool had a gold one just like it. I put traction bars on it was actually really quick 1/4 mile car! Awesome car, never had to buy beer; raced for money n’ beer! Thank you for replying 👍✌️
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!

Rock the Rocker Arms💪👍🏁
Cool car
2nd day installs on this. 4 or 5-speed manual, and 3.50 traction look gears.
The only one on the market 😊

That doesn't look like an aluminum radiator like it says in the description... but the car is definitely sweet.
I got my all original comet
Decided to keep it
I posted a video of it
Sweet car
Ive o wned a couple 1 had a 428 4spd it was wicked
i've seen comets before. but why only a 3 speed?

What are the seats out of?
How can you not know what a Maverick/Comet is? They made a kazillion of them.
In Brasil this car is Maverick

Not the same car bro. Similar, but not the same. The Ford Maverick is the same one for all of South America. This car is a Mercury.

@@OdditiesOffcial In the U S we had both , Ford and Mercury , what they call it in Brazil is Cool with me 🤔😂✌️
Never seen that shift pattern before I can see why it died off.
I had a 70 maverick for my first car so i love that body style and this car is so Beautiful
Is it for sale and how much?
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

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.
