    I wanted to introduce myself and let you know I will be lurking and possible asking questions for my friend who acquired a Stallion recently. (He doesn’t have a computer yet.) My name is Jeff, I’m 52 years old and been around Fords my whole life. I’m still driving my first car since I was in high school, a ’60 Falcon. My dad bought the car new and sold it to me for a dollar when I turned 16. You can do the math and see this car been in the driveway since I was 4 years old. I turned many wrenches on this car. I watched it grow from an 85 hp 6 cyl to a 400 hp 289. Over the years I owned a 68 Mustang, 69 Mach I, 69 Boss 302, 85 Ranger and ‘07 F150. I always wanted a Maverick from the first time I seen one while hanging out at the Tasty Freeze on Saturday night. I went to Silver Springs and had the pleasure to meet some of the members here on this forum and really enjoyed talking to y’all. I guess I could ask a question for my first post- Do you want to see my friends Stallion and his racecar? The Stallion was free so there’s not much to look at now. The Maverick has been a racecar all its life. http://1bad6t.com/Jimmy/index.html
