hi all,
i sold my 73 LDO maverick with all the options, about 5 years ago to pursue other projects.
i missed my ol maverick every step of the way.
since then, i have revived a 72 cougar from the dead (which incidentally is for sale) and bought a 61 ranchero that i mistakenly thought i could convert to a V8. (incidentally also for sale)
but now i have my priorities straight. yesterday i purchased a maverick. it is all original, one owner, V8 with PS and AC, for only $1500. (i forgot to mention that it has a fresh engine and transmission too)
bonus is it has never been wrecked either. another bonus is it does not have the gaudy chrome side moulding or vinyl roof that my 73 had.
unfortunately it doesnt have the bucket seats or floor shift either.
this car will ultimately be converted into a street rod. i am very proud of her, and cannot wait to get her tagged and start making improvements.
one question for the gallery... "how many V8 mavericks did ford produce in 72?" i knew that the 72 comet had an available V8, but i thought ford didnt offer it until the 73 model year.
i will be seeing yall around.
a proud new, maverick enthusiast
