You've obviously never been to Michigan. I've seen 10 year old cars there driving down the road with rust holes you could fit a softball through. D@*M salt!
: Those are some of the rustiest Mavericks I have ever seen!!
: The sad part is, I have seen cars almost that bad that people try to restore and fix. I am sorry, but the spirit of those cars have gone to Maverick Heaven. Rest in Peace.

: : Here are some pictures of my two part cars. The brown one is my first
: : Maverick, a 76, 250, auto and I when I first got it, it had 32000 miles and
: : very little rust. After 3 winters, it was unsafe to drive and had over
: : 100k. The red Maverick, a 75 with the same config as the 76
: : was my third and I bought it shortly after my rust free 74. It ran perfect,
: : the interior was excellent and the body was in relativly good shape, except for the dent in the rear
: : wheel well and the rusty fenders.I was planning to use it a daily driver
: : and wanted to repaint it, but then I backed into a snow bank, damaging
: : the rear and the brake light only worked when you hit the brakes real
: : hard. Then the exhaust fell off and I parked it....
