    it looks like i really did!
    i got an email from another member on a german mustang forum asking me how much of a maverick would fit on my comet and whether i was interested in buying maverick parts. NOS fenders and doors for example!

    seems like an old warehouse in switzerland has lots of NOS parts and wants to get rid of them - i was promised a full list and pictures.

    i'm excited :dance:

    Like like you will have the European market covered if the deal works out.

    Good luck.

    switzerland has always been big in us cars. a lot of them got exported there by ford. i assume the parts were ordered for a dealer, maybe for a repair or as replacement parts...
