Vintage Comet GT Ad Pics


A guy I went to school with had one this color combo. It is now a 1/8 mile bracket racer.

These pics described the GT package when it debuted in 1971.

The Comet GT based on the Maverick platform was produced from '71-'75.

This yellow GT is a 1973. This picture was in the sales brochure.

This gas cap was the deluxe version that came standard on the '74 & '75 Comet GT. The previous year model GT's had a heavy chrome cap with only the red crest. This is a New Old Stock cap
that I bought in Carlisle, PA at the All Ford Nationals in 2002. I have several of these, two are New Old Stock.

This is the back of the cap, showing that it has never been on a car.
This is the car in 1986 with the painted name.

It was my first car and I never wanted to part with it. I have been restoring it for over 2.5 years now. Time constraints have kept things slow. I hope to be done in the spring of '04. If you own a Comet GT, you are restoring one, need parts for one, have questions about them, drop me an e-mail. I love chatting about them.Mine shared the parking lot in high school with 4 other Comet GT's and a couple of Grabber Mavericks-the cousin to these cars, so I am qu...

    Will you and your wife be going to the 2006 run to the sun in Myrtle beach, S.C. March 16-18, 2006? It would be nice to see more Mavericks, Comets and Grabbers there.
