Girlfriend wants a car LIKE the maverick . . .

Get her a Maverick anyway .. just paint it "pink" ..

 

Mustang II Cobra II

 

My boss restores opel gt's he will restore one for your girlfriend. He knows them in and out his grandpa has been an active member in the opels since 1984 and has parted out over 100 opels, he has grown up around opels and knows them very well.

 

That car with Cragars would look TOUGH!

 

Ah, one of the Get Smart cars.
The body shop that painted my Cougar has none at least 5 Opel GT convertible conversions for customers.

 

Vintage British automotive electronics were primarily Lucas designed and or supplied.

Running jokes:

Why do they drink warm beer in England?
Answer - they have Lucas refrigerators.

Lucas is referred to as the "Prince of Darkness".

 

Not all Mavericks are as "Masculine" as yours. She would love a maverick with an Inline 6 and the plaid interior. I won best Ford at a car show because the judges were women and they loved the interior of my Maverick.

 

I'm not much of a Volvo guy but that one model of Volvo i love and think are great looking indeed. They had some magic going on when they designed that little number. Around here at the classic car shows they let them in in a heartbeat and some of them look fantastic and are done just right.

 

How about a Fiero. Thats a sexy chick car.

 

My wife had an 86 Fiero with the six cyliner. It was wicked quick!
Bunches of them are being turned into Lamborghini and Ferarri kit cars now.

 

Agent 86 drove an Opel?

I remember the Sunbeam Tiger

 

I'm with the Capri and the Toyota Celica. The Capri had the 2800 cc V6 that was used later in the Mustang II's and Explorers. Tough German designed engine that is hard to kill and has plenty of power and fuel mileage was decent, too. Same thing with the Toyota. Tough 4 cyls in them. Both cars have good styling, and a smaller, easier to handle package. I'd stay away from the British imports. Between the Lucas electric systems and hard to find parts, nobody wants to work on them if she has a problem. The Capri and the Celica use parts mostly still available at any parts store. Oh,also, both were available with an automatic trans, if that is important to her. The British imports were mostly 4 or 5 speeds.

 

i just rebuilt a 77 celica motor at work. those cars are very easy to work. they also look like a lil muscle car. the one i worked on was all original paint and everything with 71'000 miles. looked brand damn new inside and out. absolutely amazing. orange with factory white stripes

 

Kinda looks like a challenger, mustang and cuda into one. i like it!
