    Hello, I am the new kid on the block. I live in Hawaii so you know Maverick's is as rare as you will find anything here:huh: . I have not seen any Maverick's at all here except for a 4 Door Junky. Finding parts is making a wish list, I probaly won't come unless you pay dearly for shipping.:mad:

    I like the site (y) and have found some good ideas as to what to do to my maverick.. I own a 1970 and I am the 2nd owner. So far only modification is droped in a 347 Ford & 411's. But you know the cost $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $:eek:

    Welcome to the board.:Welcome: Good to have you here. At least the chances of your Maverick rusting away from road salt are pretty much non existant.:) Now I wonder if there is anyone here from Alaska.:huh:

    Surviving Hawaii Maverick

    Hello everyone & thank you for the warm Aloha.

    I live on the biggest island in Hawaii called Hawaii. I live in the City HILO.

    I have like a mentioned a 1970 Maverick with its original paint job. I am the 2nd owner of the car and she had very low milage for her age. When I get a digital camera or a scanner from a friend I will ost what she looks like.

    As I mentioned I have beat just about every bush in Hawaii looking for parts that I need. Made me kind of laugh when I one stopped at a junk yard and asked if they had any gas tank for a maverick & the guy had no idea it was a car :coco: :biglaugh:. Bet if I asked about a Honda he would have known, but sorry no 4 bangers in my garage.:bananaman . As I said a wish list here is just that a wish list.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated:

    Chrome moldings to go around windows, this one came with none.
    interior dome light
    Front & rear bumpers because of the dings.
    interior arm rests & handles
    A N S E N W H E E L S and if anyone knows whats the biggest I can stick under her without her tail stick in the air.
    the list goes on but you know how it goes.

    If any one needs a 1970 grill I have one in great hape except for the the center piece which shows some wear.

    Until I hear from my Maverick's again........ALOHA from Hawaii
