Hey, That's really cool for a license plate! People have scoffed at me for fixing up my Mav for years (and they still do) but there are only two kinds of people in this world: Those who believe, and those who WILL...
: : I've seen a picture of your car Paulie. It's a cherry two-door, right?
: Yeah... that's my Alice...
: You guys have made some valid points (I'd DEFINATELY take a Maverick over a Colt any day). But there's one fact you can't ignore; four-doors are UGLY (I know, I know--beauty is in the eye of the beholder...)
: I don't know... my nieghbor has one that's in the process. She has potential...
: :And don't forget--Mavericks don't appreciate (like Mustangs).
: It's only a matter of time.... Everyone who wants to talk to me about my car almost aways starts with "ya know, I used to have a Maverick..."
: :It's Bluebook says it's only worth $600 (yeah, right).
: It's only a matter of time, as I said, with the increasing rarity of Mavericks Nosalgia Buffs will start to want them and the "Blue Book" will increase...
: : But don't waste your time & money restoring a 4-door "junker".
: Once again, it's a matter of opinion. When I first rescued Alice, she was heading twords the masher... Nobody believed that she could be resurected... her plates will read "TOLDUSO" (told you so) when I'm done with her...
: Besides.... who knows?
