    Hi I am in Australia and just learnt about the maverick they look so much better than the mustangs they always seem to import here.
    So I will be looking to buy one locally eventually or may even have to import one if there isn't one available.
    I currently drive an Australian 1968 XT factory V8 Falcon Wagon. She is a rare bird.
    You guys are so lucky to have such great looking old cars over in the U.S.A.
    This site is excellent.
    Here are a few pictures of my old girl.
    I know she's not a Maverick but she is a Ford.
    It's Great to meet you all.

    Hello from Canada!! Welcome. I was glad you posted, it is rare for us here to view such a rare bird. I love the car, probably because it is a wagon. We have some falcons cruising the streets up here in Vancouver, there seems to still be a few driving around. I saw one two days ago. Anyway, all the best on finding what you are looking for. You could also scope out a COMET if your lucky! The
    Comets always did fly a little higher than those Mavericks, eh?
    Gooday! Thanks for the great pics.

    Thankyou.

    Thanks for all the great comments about my Falcon.
    There are some very nice cars on this forum.
    The information and attention to detail in all aspects of the Maverick is bewildering.
    Once again thanks.
