Most Young People Don't Know What A Maverick Is

Unless they are really car nuts, I can understand why they wouldn't know what a car that was built 20 or so years before they were born was. I don't know every car that was built in 1939, twenty years before I was born, but do know some of the more popular ones like a 39 Ford Deluxe or 39 Ford Standard. Not many 20 year old cars around at anytime. If I had a guess, I'd say there are probably more 20 year old pickups left running around than anything else

 

im still in high school ( senior year go class of 2010 ) and no one knows what a maverick is till i told them first day i drove it have a bunch of classmen come up to me asking what it was. and theres really no muscle cars that go to my school either tuners and farm trucks. its awesome im the loudest and the fasted in the school.

 

Once when I had just pulled in and was about to order my food at Sonic, a group of teenagers came running from around the other side of the restaurant, piled up in from of my car and asked if they could check out my "Torino." Took a few pictures and left before I could tell 'em any different.

i just turned 17 12 days ago ive had my car for a year and a half buying up parts to fix it so i could have the bades car for my sr year. which is in about 3 months. i hope me and my dad can get it runing by then but i doubt it maybe mid sr year. Its all about the 4x4s and tuners. All the red necks are saying there going to run me down but first the have to catch me

 

wtjkb youll get her running by then and you feel the same i do they may have the facts down on paper about their cars/trucks but when it comes down to power to weight mavericks are the bomb

 

i cant wait even tho i will only be able to affored a day or two of driving it lol. but my dad use to have one i have to see if i can find a picure of it. it barreled rolled in to a feild. wish i had it for parts tho. lol

 

lol i hear you there was driving my parents cars getting about 25mpg and now driving my baby gets around 13mpg hahaha
sorry about your dads maverick being rolled. yea my dad still has his first car a 66 mustang convertible sat since i was born 18 years ago and has major rust issues and im in the process of restoring that for him

 

I was actually in the hunt to buy a 67 Coronet when I ended up finding and buying my Maverick. The two cars could not be more opposite but I like them both. I guess I just like cars.

 

My dad was looking at this one for many years and the guy never wanted to sell it. Then he need 300 bucks for bills and im the only person in my house that had extra money at the time so i took thinking my dad would pay me back but it kind of grew on me so im keeping it. Which title would be better to use the 71 or the 74? im actually on my lunch break lol. the 74 is striped to the bone now its time for patches (my patch panel car) but im sure on my way. ill post up some pictures tonigh im hopeing.

I was at Pepboys @ a year ago buying a wheel cylinder for a "1972 Maverick" , the guy just stopped for a second and asked " Who makes a Maverick" lol

 

I was sitting at a stoplight last week and and a car came through the intersection and a kid about 14 or so leaned out the window and yelled "Nice Nova". I just chuckled and thought to myself.............. Not even close dude!!!!!!!!!. LOL

 

Yep, when my son in law comes over he always says "nice vega".......idiot!

 

I was going to the store one day and a guy runs over and says wow i didnt know camaros made four doors
