    What i'm not that old am i?:eek:

    Yeah i certainly remember those ones that looked that way with those great :vomito:
    colours it's amazing that i or anyone else for that matter even like them at all.
    I think it's cool that everyone on this board has had the vision to see what Mavericks and Comets can look like and see past those "oh my God colours" and make them look as good as they do now which i think look as good as anything out there, really!(y)

    5000 Stallions, can you imagine. Now everyone would kill to have a real Stallion.

    I wonder if there are any pictures out there of Stallions on the assembly line being built, that i would like to see.

    Once you take one apart and strip you figure out that its no wonder they all rotted out. They werent exactly built to last. Up here they were rust and crushed in the eighties at 10-15 years old. Aint many left up here at 30 plus years old.

    I have this issue...Anyone interested in seeing the pages scanned to the web?

    Kinda funny, my maverick is being compared to a VW bug. I would LOVE to race a Bug sometime. Just to see how many FEET off the line he is when I cross the finish line!!!
