Who here has seen a military maverick????

It would be a cool car to restore, pretty simple to do it.

 

x2! would be really cool!

 

I LOVE that radio delete. Thats the first time ive ever seen one.

 

needs a rat patrol style 50 cal on the roof...

 

Throw it on a Bronco frame!

 

That was mounted on the trunk,and the rear window flipped up like a deuce and a half!

 

The Mavericks just replaced the Falcons as service vehicles. I remember both models being used at the same time! I'm not sure when the Falcon line was dropped,but both were produced together for a couple of years.

 

best idea i have heard yet, that would be awesome to pull in on cruise night. park smack dab in the middle of the GM crowd too heck you gotta have a fake 45 bolted to the dash too. few ammo boxes in back seat you could have alot fun hooking the props up.

I grew up on military bases almost everywhere until 1979 when I got out of high school. I have seen many what are now "special interest cars" the LTD's the brass used to drive. Torinos where big too almost always 4 doors. Many of these vehicles ended up on the target ranges and looked like flattened swiss cheese. If you did live around a base u did see many used car dealers scoop them up at auctions 10-20 at a time. The real sellers were the pickups and big boy 3 axle rigs.

Anyhow even with all that I can't recall a Maverick, might have been caused by several years driving Chevelles and Camaros etc until I smartened up and bought my first Mustang, been a Ford man ever since.

Thanx for the pics and flashbacks .

i dont know how to post the link, but go to youtube and type machine gun maverick movie..... thinking bout adding one to my mave lol.

 

I'm guessing that car is the equivilant to the modern day GSA gov't vehicles I deal with daily. Nothing special other than the color and the oddity factor. So yeah, part it out or throw it on a 4X4 chassis and make an urban assault vehicle. I vote UAV!

 

I can remember my grandmother's brother driving a big bumpered light brown 4dr Maverick gov't car when he was pulling recruiter duty for the AF in the early 80's. This is kind of cool.

 

So whats the new government car? The charger?

 

How much for the dash?

 

Here's the link to it! That was a strange setup.
