    Yep, you would fit right in with the Georgia gang... :biglaugh:

    Here are the bobcat lights on my '72. I got them off a '75 Bobcat in the junkyard. Excuse the mud behind the wheels... the car had been driven in excess of 1,000 miles in less then a week when that picture was taken.

    Here is a pic of some tail lights I got from brazil. I dont plan on putting them on this car but I'm looking at another mav right now that they will probably go in.

    I wouldn't mind picking up a set of those Brazil lights. Do you mind if I ask how much you had to give for them with shipping?

    Brazil seems to have a LOT of cool stuff.
    Ever seen the killer Charger they had in 75?

    Considering that we don't have that brake light in the rear window like newer cars...that extra brake-light in the tail panel just might be beneficial...:huh:

    That is actually a lot of light to be flashing in someone's face in the event of tailgating or emergency braking...

    Mine aren't set up like that yet, but I will set them up with two brakes when I get all the extra parts to do so.

    Would you believe I saw a Bobcat for sale on Ebay? it couldnt even fetch the $400 reserve for the whole car. I persuaded the owner to sell me the tail lights right out of the car! I gave her $100 plus a really nice pair of Maverick lights. They werent quite as nice as I had hoped, with some pitting, but ok to keep as a spare. Its very rare to see bobcat anything on ebay. I spent a lot of time looking. If I saw another set I would snatch them right up. What are they worth? For a really nice set, (good anodized or nice chrome) I think $150 is a bargain. You just dont see them. I would probably buy another set. (one cant have too many sets of Bobcat tail lights) I like them Brazilian tail lights too, but I have never seen them for sale anywhere.

    Frank, you must be amassing a large collection of Bobcat reflectors with all them crazy brakelight combos you are working on. When is someone gonna come out with a LED board for these maverick tail lights?

    My grampa had a Bobcat.
    I looked for one on Ebay a while back just to see how cheap they were. None to be had. No pintos either. I like them both.

    Looks nice...I also like the different color panel. It throws a lot more attention to the nice lights.
