You aint gonna believe this one.

2 young kids, about 13yrs old, just knocked on my door and wanted to know if I wanted to sell my 71 Maverick. One of them, Todd, is looking for a Maverick to fix up for his 16th birthday. I thought that was pretty neat. I have to go look at a 70 sometime in the next week or so, so I told him he could buy it for whatever it cost me, if he wants to fix it up. I was probably going to use it for parts but I'd rather see it get fixed up. Hope its in good enough shape to make it worth while.

 

deja vu something about a todd and a maverick .... great combination

 

I wonder if "Daddy" is in agreement with the young guns.

'Hope so.

 

Yup, I ask him if his Dad knows and is going to help him & he said yes. I was just shocked that he even knew what a Maverick was.

 

That is great! Looks like you may have made an impression on them with your!

 

Oh man Oh man, that is awesome. A kid after my own heart. Not to mention my name! I bet that was a wierd feeling. And who says history doesn't repeat itself! Make sure he goes to this board and joins the club. I would love to meet him one day! Oh man that is soo wierd.

That's cool!! besides him buying a Mav, Dennis you more than likely have all the parts that he needs Russ

 

When I got my first Mavrick a year ago, my dad seemed kind of dissapointed. So did a few of my friends. Since then I have got another Mavrick, and I am in the finishing touches of swapping a 351 windsor into my first Mavrick. My dad and all of my friends respect the Mavricks now, and think they have the potential to look great as well (when I finaly paint em heh).

To be honest I think alot of people like Mavricks, but think its a bad thing to admit it.

 

well me being 16 i can see where the kid is coming from. older cars are becoming more popular with certain crowds now a days. i know alot of kids that have older cars from my high school (duster, chevelle, stingray, and me mav and trans am ectect.) i have a feeling its on a nice rise but then again so are the rice boys.

 

Oh man another sixteen year old in jersey with a mav. I dont think this town is big enough for both of us! Jusk kidding lol! Rob C., come to the western Pa mini meet! Its really fun and a great bunch too!

There is a kid of about 16 or 17 working at the gas station I go to who is always after me to sell him my 76' Maverick. He doesn't care that it's a six banger either, he just wants a Maverick for himself. I have no plans on selling the 76' any time soon, but I told him I would keep an eye out for any others that turn up for sale. I'm really impressed by this guys determimation to own a Maverick and I hope he finds one. It's great to see the younger generation taking an interest in the Mavs and Comets. No ricers for these kids, they have good taste.

 

The mav certainly caught me hook line and sinker!

Actually Todd, that was my red 77' Maverick you were drooling over at Carlisle. We also have a primer grey 76' Maverick that is my daily driver. Believe me, that one isn't much to look at right now. It was my 77' that got the attention of the kid at the gas station and got him wanting to own a Maverick too.

 

That is a cool story, I am sure your car is what influenced him to want a maverick.

I am happy that a 13 year old knows what a Mav is.

I still get "look at the camaro" from people/kids who walk past my house when the garage door is up.

 

Ooo i meant the mav in genereal! oops mybad. And yes, your red car really is great looking. I love the engine compartment especially.
