Tiger89 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 There seems to have been a craze lately over the old Jo-han Mavericks and Comets, so this is a stock build I came up with. I used a Pro-stock Comet kit that was still sealed from the '70s, AMT '67 Mustang/GT350 chassis slightly shortened, wheels, mirrors, hood scoop and engine from AMT's '69 Cougar Eliminator, seats from an AMT Torino. Grabber Lime paint was supplied by MCW, and decals by Keith Marks. I'll be keeping the 429 engine from the Comet kit for something else.

shoopdog Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Very nice! I sure would like to see a Comet or Maverick kit released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott8950 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Very nice... You rarely see these built stock and your color choice was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Well done. Did something similar with a die-cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks great. If you'd have just shown the photos without describing the various parts that went into it I'd have assumed it was a nicely done, out of the box build, but you've incorporated everything very cleanly.

Dave Darby Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Until I had to ebay off my Cougars and Comet, I had the same plan. Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Really looks the part. I could've totally believed this was a Comet sport package and offered as an AMT kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I always wanted to do a Comet GT. Bought a bench seat from I think Missing Link and bought stripes from Keith Marks but that is as far as I got. Love the GT you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
