    Just bought my first Maverick. Was trying to find out how to tell if it really is a grabber or not and stumbled upon this site. Cool !! Didn't know there was this many of y'all around.

    :Welcome:

    I believe the 3rd and 4th # of your VIN should be 93 if it's a true grabber.

    Ditto on that comment Don. I'd be retired also if I didn't have these Maverick/Comets to contend with......takes money.
    :Welcome: to the board. We love pics.....

    Retirement is a full time job. You're on the job from the time you get up til ya hit the sack. Pays not as good.

    The weather is quite tolerable here in the mountains. Sales tax is 5% , no car inspections and the property taxes are lower than what I have to pay for vehicle tax every year. You need to own a new house, old car and you would have it made.
