Junkyard Find: 1975 Mercury Comet Sedan

A Maverick in a junkyard is a rare sight indeed these days, so you can imagine my surprise when I found this badge-engineered Mercury Maverick just a few rows down from yesterday's '75 Ford Maverick Junkyard Find. There wasn't much difference between the Maverick and the Comet, though the Comet was marketed as being somewhat classier.
You aren't going to see a sticky vinyl interior in this weird green color these days.
Check out these futuristic taillights!
The 1975 Ford Maverick four-door listed at $3,025 with 200-cubic-inch six-cylinder engine. The 1975 Mercury Comet four-door listed at $3,236, with the same engine. It's hard to imagine the tiny margin of bragging rights the Comet might bestow over the Maverick, but some felt the extra $211 was worth it.
The 1992 Sci-Fi Channel button on the inside of the C pillar is a nice bit of personalization.
