    After a very long absence I'm getting back into the swing of things.

    Where can I get seat upholstery for my 72 Comet GT with bucket seats? The interior is black.

    Also what is a good source for parts besides Auto Krafters?

    Thanks,
    Will

    Yokeracer,

    No problem, glad to see I'm not the only one who needs them. I've heard they are still available just don't know who from.

    I have a few Mustangs and they're easy to get parts for just open up a catalog. My Mustangs are nice but there is nothing like a Maverick or Comet!

    So, you like the Maverick/Comets better than the stangs? I'm just learning that they're basically the same car. I kinda consider them lil mustangs :thumbs2:

    To date, there are no replacement seat covers for comet gt bucket seats. I had mine re-upholstered for my restoration. Just have them reuse the portion on the seat back with the chrome rectangle. Mine are attached post recovery. View attachment comet seats.pdf

    No one makes a kit (like mustangs) for Mavericks or Comets, you'll have to find a good upholstery shop, or use Mustang seat covers, they are close, but not exact. There was talk from one member (FMC56) on here about making them.

    Good info everyone, I really appreciate it!

    Yokeracer. You're right Mavericks and Comets are basically like Mustangs, parts are just a lot harder to come by. I just like something different. A lot of people don't know what a Maverick or Comet is.....I must be getting old;-). So when you cruise up in one it always gets a conversation going.

    What are other sources out there besides Auto Krafter?

    Will

    Yokeracer,

    I'm stationed at Fort Bliss Texas which is right on the Mexican border so I'm sure I can find someone to redo mine also. As stated, thanks everyone for the help!
