    Yes mine was my 72 maverick I bought it when I was 12 years old from a little old lady in Conyers Goergia. It had 28,000 miles on when I got. Paid $1500 for it. So I have had it now for 13 years.[​IMG]

    Yep. My father bought it new in 1970, first new car they bought! I sorta bought it, inherited it in high school. I6 200cid, sophmore year dad said no to a camaro(thanks dad) so the Maverick became our project. Came to respect my father a lot during that winter/summer (remember your dad in high school?) Was and still is a great experience. he still comes up to turn a wrench with me and he LOVED hos Maverick calender!

    My first car was a sixty something VW Karman ghia, I hated that car. My dad found it for $700 we fixed it up and sold it for $2000.

    Traided up to a 72 pinto :D that car was alot of fun. It was also the start of my modifing habbit.

    missing my 71 maverick i6 3 on the tree :(
    id love to see what you did with that pinto...

    my 69.5 mav was my ninth car in a matter of 3 years, i started driving legally in 96, my first car was a 68 chevy panel truck (even though it was a chevy i still sort of miss it) i don't usually tear cars up, i just buy when i come across what i think to be a deal, plus im a bit eccentric. i have to drive something different. most of the time i buy a car i know what i want it to look like when its done (like they ever get near that far lol) the mavericks are the only ones that i cant get a clear picture in my head of what i want them to be, i think that's why i am hanging on to them more then some of my other stuff..

    My 1973 Mercury Comet was my first car. Bought it in 10th grade for 400 bucks from my older brother. Fixed it up during HS with my dad. I will never sell this car.

    My first car is my '73 Maverick. My mom bought it new and gave it to me when I started driving. Will have it the rest of my life. It is a part of the family.

    Hey Rusty,
    Nice car. I really like the look of those Ranger wheels. What size are they? Were they ever available in 15x7" ??...

    First car I really worked on and used as mine but was not mine was a 56 Chevy 2dr sedan of my Grandmothers, fixed the body and painted it when I was 12. For a 12 year old it looked pretty good and was a major improvement over its formal self.
    My real first car was my 72 grabber, which I traded in on my Stallion.
