Was your first car a Mav?

First car was a '61 Studebaker "linear sedan". Rusted everywhere, kite string for piston rings, and a bent spindle. Paid $75 for it, drove it a year, and it finally died. My first Mav was in '72, a Sprint, which I wish I did not sell. Had a GTO, Hemi-Roadrunner, and a few more, but miss that Sprint more than any of them. Oh, well.....

 

Hemi Road runner ... Think of the Maverick and Comet stuff you could buy with the proceeds from the sale of one of those these days

 

M.A.V.; Yeah, kinda makes you sick to think you sold it for what was then a good price. I sold the car for $6000.00, in 1972. That's when I bought the Sprint. Oh well,

 

first cars.....1>!>!>!>!>!

yep my first car was a 1972 Grabber, that was parked behind a shed and set for about 10 years. i bought it for $50 bucks too, (seems to be a trend).

a few years later and we have end result.........well not really the end. but had it for 4 years now. although i'm only 19.

 

my first car was a 71 Chebby nova!

 

my first car is my 73 comet i've only had it for about a year and a half just out of high school. and don't you mean a piece of chevy nova

 

1st thing I drove regularly was a 68 jeep cj5, my first car I had the displeasure to have to pay for was a 71 toyota corolla(thanks to my dad not wanting me to have anything I'd get into trouble with)(like that worked) I wanted a friend of his 67 chevelle that was for sale. so much for want.couldnt kill that damn toyota no matter how hard I tryed ......a few years and a few cars later bought my grannys comet,.thats the one that started this insanity.

 

yeah but I sure had a lot of great memories in that car.

 

My first car was not a Maverick, but it was the first car I did the nasty in with my girlfriend.

It was also the first car I ever drove down the quarter-mile (my brother's 302 Sprint).

Man, I miss that car!

 

can you say "did the nasty" on this board?

 

I was just referring to me getting my peanut butter on her chocolate.

I don't know what you're talking about.

 

I believe this thread is now rated PG-13

 

my first and only car is a 73 maverick 2dr 250 with a c4. im done so many huge burnouts with it im surprised it hasnt blown up. im about 2 weeks from painting it and about a month from putting in my 385 horse 302 in it. ive had tons of fun driving that car. the 250 puts out 60hp and 250 ft-lbs at the wheels. my schools awesome- has its own chassis dyno.

 

I knew that's what you were talking about Rick...same thing happened to me. I guess that's why I've been hanging on to it for the last thirty years. Those tasty treats!!!

 

First Maverick

My first new car was 1974 Maverick Grabber! I ordered it new and took delivery in August ,74! I was 17 years old and in the 11th grade. The car was red/black, 302, automatic, bucket seats, floor shift power steering, dics brakes,tinted glass and AM/FM stereo! It was $3800 on the A plan ordered under my Dads name! Make no mistake though, I paid for the car myself! I had a decent part time job whitch became full time after graduation. After a year of everyday use, I bought a 69LTD and used the Maverick for pleasure only until 8/88 when I deciced to sell it for a new Mustang GT(a big mistake). I got $5000 for my Maverick though, more then I paid for it new! I sold the GT 5 years later and started looking for another '74 Maverick Grabber. In 2002 I found the one I have now a white/black Grabber orginal 33,000 miles, 302/auto, air, deluxe interior, vinal top, power steering, disc brake, AM radio! I believe finding this car was a blessing, and a prayer answered! This one I will keep! Joe
