    Hello,
    My name is Adam. I scored my maverick about 2 months ago for $500. Since I have had it I replaced the radiator and fixed a gas leak...the only downside on this car is that the previous owner got backed into by a truck and it really done a number on the drivers side door. I am the fourth owner of this maverick, but I came across the original documentation (including the owners manual and warranty information) and to my surpise this car was bought brand new in my hometown in 1970.
