    hi all, i've been lurking here for a year. i started driving Mavericks in 1975. i love cars/lawn ornaments. due to several untimely recent car deaths, i recently got the best (fodor) Maverick in the world out of storage. i need it for transportation, but i feel badly because it got rained on this week for the sixth time ever.
    [​IMG]
    it is a completely stock, all original '75 with auto and 250 CID 6. with the 5mph bumpers and unleaded gas it is of course a softie, and only a shadow of the original Falcon Replacement. my grandfather bought it new in Texas, always garaged, it has never seen salt. it just turned 16k miles.

    maverick.to scared me recently, when i couldn't get DNS lookup for awhile! glad to see you guys enjoying cars, not just war stories!

    I hope you don't mean that cars are lawn ornaments :biglaugh: . Although I think some of the guys on this forum think that's what they're for.:2cents:
