    HI! I've been checking out ya'lls site, and I really like that ya'll can help me. Here are a few pictures of my fixer-upper. My 1970 Meverick! As you can see a lot of work is going to need to be put into it. But I have a while till I drive (In March) so my Step Dad and Mother will help me get it ready. I bought it for $1000 from the Ori. Owner. It only has 38,000 miles on it. And it's a good beginner car. Especially for a young driver. (Fender :smash: benders!) Thanks for the help so far.

    That's probably more like 138,000 miles. Welcome to the board and good luck with your new project...

    Sounds like a great project. I'm really glad to see the younger generation take such interest in these cars. We're getting quite a few lately. You're links are not working but keep trying.
