    Hi, I am new member from Kansas. My first car was a 1970 maverick. When I was 16 an older gentleman passed away and the wife did not drive. It had only
    2000 miles on it and the orginal oil had never been changed. I loved that car,
    but was young and dumb and had a wreck and totaled it out. I then got a 1971
    maverick with a 302. Thirty one years later I am looking to find a nice maverick to take to car shows. I am new at this so any help would be nice

    Thanks for the warm welcome from everybody. Hawkco, I am looking for
    a car that is pretty well done. I just dont have the time to do a major
    project. Maybe something pretty well along that I could put some personal
    touches too.

    Welcome to the board. Ebay has good candidates for what you are looking for on a regular basis. Just bought one there myself.

    Welcome aboard, I think about all of us have had a least 1 Mav that we let get away and wish we had back. I have a 73 that I've had for 27 years, but I bought a 74 a year after the 73, was nice. Still wish I hadn't let it go.
    Good luck in your search.[​IMG]
