    While in Alabama this weekend I checked out a couple junk yards and have a few questions.....

    Are these Original Seats? If so I may go back and get them for the tracks.

    Are these mounts for a small black v8 or what?

    I bought this set of mounts and grill out of a '72

    What are small bumpers worth in rusted condition with brackets? I may go back and get them.

    WOW ... nice yard! yes those are original Maverick/Comet Seats for 73/74. Nice Grabber spoiler, Rear bumper, Sport mirrors ... and I see some Comet Center caps too. Any of those small bumper cars happen to have an OEM AM/FM mono radio ???

    Looks like there's enough stuff there to get a good start on a small bumper Comet.

    I would say take any removable part before they get destroyed no matter what condition.

    If that Comet hood isn't rusted to death, it'll be worth grabbing. I know when I was looking for one for the Green GT it was hard to find one that was worth saving, fortunately David helped me out.

    Comet grills that aren't trashed are worth snagging too.
