Senior year of HS ('73) one guy had a Comet Stabber that was a package car put together by a local Lincoln-Mercury dealer in '71 and '72, IIRC. Good looking car in black with silver stripes. His buddy had a Maverick Grabber in blue with silver stripes.

Cool find. I had a '71 2 dr. for a while after I was first married. Had about $600 in it, drove it for 2 yrs. and traded it even for a sweet '67 GTX, 440, 4 spd. that I dearly would love to have back. 2005 MotorMax Fresh Cherries 1970 FORD MAVERICK Red Diecast 1:64 2-Door Car | eBay

Love the car. Hate the wheels/tires though. :(

As said, it's your car so build it your way. But to be perfectly honest, if I saw it at a car show I would keep walking after seeing what was in it. Sorry. :rolleyes:

/6 & auto on the column in the video.

SIGH.... Wish I had been able to use that hood. Rob actually took the carcass off my hands for another friend who was planning to fix all the rust. Sure did have his work cut out for him with that project.

Heather Storm is the blonde twin (seriously) to a girl I dated many years ago. If I had a picture of her you would swear they were at least sisters. She loved working on cars and didn't mind getting dirt or grease under her nails. I can't stand Texas Metal. His truck builds look like refugees...

Very cool. Not a Chevy expert by any stretch but that Chevelle doesn't look like a real SS. Still a cool find though along with the GP and the truck.

Plainly states manufactured in America without having to search for it. Thanks. I have bookmarked that site. :thumbsup:

Little bit of background- fuel pump went out in my son's '98 Dakota. Ordered one from Auto Zone at more than twice the price of one on Amazon. I figure what the heck. The lifetime warranty and a Made in America pump would be worth it. Imagine my surprise when it arrived with Made in China on the...

If you're on a budget, I would look into a Ford Explorer 8.8 swap. Cheap at the pull-a-part, limited slip, variety of ratio's, and easy to narrow to A-body width. Write-up's are available here on the board. Unless you are a purist and don't mind paying the price for an A-body 8 3/4 that may or...

Wish I had saved mine. I had quite a few as well as 7 or 8 Snap-On clocks but the better half wouldn't let me hang them (in the boxes under the bed). Tossed the posters on a clean-out day and wound up selling the clocks back to my Snap-On dealer including one they had recalled because it was a...

I wish I had a bench in a warm area. :p Working in the basement and it's a little cool down there. We're slowly finishing the basement so I try to keep my mess to a minimum.

Sent me the decals I needed I needed for the '71 GTX. I can't thank him enough. :thumbsup: Now if it will warm up a little more so I can get it painted. :p

Thanks for looking, Asa. DartDad Too is sending me some. All I really need is the hood call-outs (440- non A/G) and the decklid decal. :thumbsup:
