    If you are a member of Nat. Street Rod Assoc. and recieve their monthly publication; there is an article on a 72 Maverick, page 112 dedicated/showcased for those below 29 year old. It is owned by a young man who's name is Greg Michaud of Nobleboro, MD. It has a 331 strocker, custom flamed Grabber green paint job and stitched tan leather seats. Does anyone know Greg or if he visits/member of this forum. He has a great looking custom Maverick and the interior is outstanding.

    That car was built in Florida if memory serves me correctly. I saw him at that show in Burlington, VT and chatted with him. He does give full credit to the actual builder of the car. He has done some detailing, but purchased it pretty much the way you see it.

    Nice guy.

    Yes, it was an NSRA meet in September of 2012. The interior was nice. I am on the fence with the center console though. It is better in person than in pictures. Over all it is a nice car. Starting to show its age, but still nice.

    I spoke with him in the PPG booth where he was looking at colors. It could use some touch up repairs and he said when he does them he wants to change the color and paint scheme.

    Nice to see you have joined us. When I spoke with you in the PPG display in 2012 you were looking to do a color change. I see you went back to the original color. Good looking car.

    Welcome to the forum Greg! The green color on the FB page is the recent color?
    I don't still have the Street Scene mag but thought the color was tan - don't really recall. I have attended the NSRA in Kalamazoo MI. the last 4yrs., have only seen one other car like ours; that was this past September. Oddly enough, he lives less than 10miles frm me and just acquired the car this year.
