    I received a phone call last week from a local guy looking for a Maverick and he asked me if I was willing to sell mine. The thought of selling the car had crossed my mind in the past, as I have not driven the car in the past 2 years. So I told him that I was willing to sell the car and he came to take a look at it. After looking over the car, he was impressed with its condition and left a deposit for it. Today, he gave me the balance and towed the car home. The new owner loves Mavericks, so I know that the car is in good hands. :)

    Ive been "Maverickless" in the past, and I know that its not easy to find a nice one, but I will get another one in the future. When I was looking for a replacement for my first Maverick, all I wanted was a rust free 2 door body and did not care about the year. I ended up buying a 1974 6 cylinder Maverick. My plans for the car were to swap in a 302 with a manual transmission and change the bumpers to small ones, but since im not mechanically inclined, it never happened. Therefore, my next Maverick I buy will have to have all the features I want and it will be a 71/72 Grabber.

    Nothing will change in regards to maverick.to or this forum and I will continue to improve it over time. I am still a Maverick enthusiast and will be forever(y)

    Well if the car was not the car you dreamed of, then that v8 grabber will be your keeper. Hope it comes your way soon.
