Cars that look like mavericks

Hey, that's my 1968 Mustang GT/CS.

 

I need to run, but the Opel Manta also resembles the Maverick in silhouette.

 

I dont really see it i think they look more like a toyota celica or something similar.. They arent really like any car.
This one kid came into our shop and looked at an opel manta and him and another friend had a bet on what kinda of car it was. And he was like This is a mustang Gto right? And my boss was like yes it sure is. ANd then the kid tells the other one "I told you so!"

I am around opel mantas all day long, but not just any opel mantas Steven Juliano's opel mantas one of which has 3946 original miles.

 

What a great looking Mustang you have for restoring! Love the color.

 

wow hold your thumb over the grill and headlights and it is a bad looking Maverick!:bananaman

 

In Europe it's a Ford. And although they were sold at Mercury dealerships when they brought them here, they never actually wore a Merc badge until they changed platforms.

 

Thanks, the original color is much lighter yellow. I am planning to paint it a non-Ford shade of blue.

It is a 302-4V automatic, with power steering. I have already rebuilt the front suspension, added a 15/16" Granada front sway bar, and added disc brakes.

 

after going to all ford carlisle last year I discovered I desperately want one of these.

 

Cool. Here's a pretty good write-up on the Capri that I found online, and is not just a wikipedia write-up:

Awesome! It would be nice to see pics of it when you are done. The GT/CS's are nice.

 

Here's the row of capris that hooked me.

 

Holy Crap, from the rear of the front tire back that thing really does look like a Maverick

 

Comets look alot like Mavericks, just with an ugly grill.

 

Sorry...didn't know that. Never lived in Europe before.
Don't they still build Mavericks in Europe?

 

yep they still build them. They are just a little more SUV styled... LOL
