mn67 and Tony, Awesome cars, brings back great memories. PLEASE keep posting pics of these cars!
My first car was my grandfather's 1970 maverick who gave it to me in 1975 when I was 15 and my mom would not let him drive anymore. It was in showroom new condition, 6 banger/auto column shift, teal with a black vinyl top and bench seat interior. It about gave him a heart attack as I immediately swapped a 289 and 4 speed out of a wrecked Comet a friend and I found at a local junk yard, ripped off the vinyl roof, put a set of pinto buckets from same yard and had it painted red with black lowers like a Mach 1 which is what I really wanted but couldn't afford.
I think you guys have given me my next project!
Keep it up and thanks for the memory!
Jose
