    I was wondering if a 69.5 Mav is rarer than a 70? I learned that my Maverick has the ignition on the dash, making it a 69.5. Is this true? I am just learnig about this "kickass" little car so please forgive my ignorence.

    There are also some other little differences in them. There is a thread on the differences. Do a search and you will find all of them. My favorite is the horn ring (like a 69 Mustang). Welcome to the 69.5 club, LOL.
