    Hey, I'm new here. I'm about to pick up my '77 Maverick in only a couple hours. She's a solid rig with minimal issues and I'm excited to start working on making her a flawless example of a '77 Maverick. She will be my daily driver, so I have a few tricks up my sleeve for making her a comfortable cruiser, but I'll get to those when the time comes. I've been browsing the forums for a while as a non-member and I'm happy to finally be a part of it. There will be more pictures to come, but here's one I took last night. It's my brother-in-laws car and I stopped in and got her up and running with just minor tinkering. It looks to have had a very recent tune-up before being stored in the garage for nearly 2 years.

    I looked through some of the records that came with the car and found ALL of the original documents from its purchase in '73, including the original window sticker!
