    If you scroll through the 253-photo slideshow, there are a few Mavericks and Comets pictured, as follows:

    • #013 White Comet 2dr [​IMG]
    • #129 Possible (maybe not) Yellow Comet GT (black stripes)[​IMG]
    • #131 Orange Maverick[​IMG]
    • #207 Green Maverick[​IMG]
    • #239 Green Maverick[​IMG]
    The only one I'm not 100% positive on is the Comet GT. The stripe looks correct, and it's in a pile with Pintos and Mustangs, but the front fender is heavily damaged, so it's hard to make-out what it really is. Please let me know if you think it's NOT a Comet GT. :tiphat:

    Stripe appears correct as does bumper width, I agree on it being a Comet GT...

    At the moment I'm feeling kinda sorry for the '69 Torino Squire Wgn in first pict...

    I found it interesting that they charge $25 just to go in and walk around.

    That yellow Comet GT was well hidden - it was like playing Where's Waldo the first time I looked at it :slap:

    If you have enough money I guess it would be.....“Everything is for sale,” Dean told us, “But only at a price that makes it worth it for me"
