    I don't think so. Add on, just like all the rest.

    Is this it?

    I think this one had Michigan plates at some point.
    Different wheels and a few other things.

    Blue on Blue is nice, if you like Blue. I could suffer with that car.

    We bumped into the guy who owns that Comet a few weeks ago at a car show. For the life of me I can't remember his name.:slap: Real nice guy though. His Comet is a real beauty. The Grabber spoiler kit is an add on, but it looks like it belongs on that car. I got a picture of his Marti report while I was there. It may be hard to read, so if it is just save it to your computer and zoom in on it.

    Is that a Maverick front bumper on it?

    No. It is a 73 only from what I understand.

    Yes, but the curve of it looks more like what you'd see on a '73 Maverick. Did Mavs and Comets both use the same bumper in '73?

    I guess it must be the right one. I see it on other '73 Comets in the gallery, like this one. They must be the same, or maybe just extremely close, because I can't tell the difference between that one and the '73 Maverick bumper. :huh:

    Blue is right, front bumpers are the same for both cars in '73 and '74-'77.

    I find it interesting on that Marti Report and others that I see that there
    is a charge for A/C and tinted glass. I have heard in the past that tinted
    glass only came on the factory A/C equipped cars.

    ?????

    So are the pics that I posted of the car originally posted in this thread? I don't
    know for sure but there are similarities.

    Mine has what I believe to be factory tint (very light, not a film) but it never had AC. Maybe the doors or the glass got swapped at some point though.

    So how could it be one of 4? The lowest number I see is "One of 585 (?) with this paint/trim code) maybe it's one of 4 left in the world? Otherwise it's a cool car.

    The 74 price book I have says: Glass, Tinted-complete "Recommended with air conditioner"
    So I guess you could get it separate...
