    One of a kind Mavericks are few and far between, it's usually something the seller likes to say, to sell the car.

    :Welcome: Well I don't know about "one of a kind" but I don't remember seeing to many in power blue with white stripes. I did see one and only one black with white stripes in 1974. When I ordered my car there was a white one with orange stripes and interior in the showroom. It had a 302, P/S D/brake, air, tinted glass, orange halo vinal top, bucket seats, floor shifter, am-fm stereo radio, the 5 slot wheels with Maverick center caps, bumper protection group. That was a $5,000+ Maverick. I have never seen another one with that many options. I should have bought that car! A picture of your car would be nice.

    Yes, most Mavericks had 6's, they were marketed to be an economy car.

    You can have Marti, fax you a copy of the report, while you wait for the hard copy, it does cost a little more, for it.
