    No,I did like you,I had it 3 years and bought a new 75 F-150,put big tires on it and was playing in the mud 1 week later!I found a nice Virginia body a few years ago and had a Grabber spoiler for 20 years,thinking some day I would reproduce my old one,so last year I finished it and started cruising in the "same" car I had 37 years ago,I love it! ( I do look a lot like I did, +30 lbs. and just a little less harl LOL!)

    You're close Indyman. It did have Munroe air shocks but I only had 65 lbs in them And as stated many times on this site, they went right thru the shock mounts and the trunk floor. I learned my leason the hard way on that car. It was a beauty too. Two toned green interior. I have never seen another like it after that.

    Okay, I dug out a few old ones. I don't have them at work where my scanner is so I just took a pic of the photo and the quality isn't very good but here they are anyway...

    This was taken around August of 72 at Creeds Raceway. My Sprint was only a few months old.

    This one was taken around November of 72 up in RI.

    These 2 were taken at my first wedding in June 73.

    This was taken in the summer of 73. Note the 8 track and CB radio.

    Also note the dash is ripped up. I used to power shift the 3 on the tree. I broke 3 shift tubes. when then last one broke the shifter lever went into the dash and did the damage you see. Ford replaced the first 2 tubes under warranty but refused to replace it a third time.

    Our new Maverick, summer 1969. I was looking for a new car in early spring 1969. I looked at what was available, then the salesman told me about the "new" car Ford was bringing out. No cars to look at, just pictures and the sales brochure. Took the brochure home, wife liked it. I ordered one that day. Took delivery on June 18, 1969. VIN was OX91T 139277.
