Hi, Im Rick and im looking to get a Maverick. I had a 1970 Maverick when I was 19 and had to sell it when finances got really bad through college. I am 24 now, out of college, a teacher, and ready to find another Maverick to call my own. I am located in St. Pete Florida (near Tampa) and there isnt much around here. I have looked at a 77 Comet, but it is over priced at $3000 and the guy wont budge. I think I want to stay with the early years anyways. If anyone knows of someone selling their Maverick in good driving condition, I will be willing to drive a few states and pick it up. I have the next 2 weeks off for Christmas Break, so now is good timing. Any leads are appriciated... and if anyone knows how to get ahold of Catch22 from Fort Worth, let him know I am interested.

welcome and good luck in your search. join the MCCI, there is a bi-monthly newsletter that has many cars for sale in it. www.maverickcometclub.org
Thanks! Well, my search has ended. Thanks to dudleygray (Pete), I have a 1971 Grabber on its way from TN. I would have went and picked it up, but couldnt find anyone to drive with me, so im having it shipped in. Should be here in just a few days. I have a feeling I will be on here quite a bit from now on. I have learned a lot in the 4 days that I have been a part of the forum and im sure I am going to need to learn a lot more. --Rick
Congratulations Mav-Rick. I like that name, maybe you should change your user name to that. Oh yeah, we want pics as soon as you get it.
Rick Welcome, and congrat's on the car! I know just how you feel. I bought my first Grabber new in '74. Sold it in '88. Bought another one in '02. Between that time I had a '74 4 door. I just can't stay away! We vacationed in St Pete two years ago. Its a beautiful place! We plan to retire in central Florida within five years. If you see a white '74 Maverick Grabber with black stripes It just might be me! Enjoy, you will be happy here! Joe
Welcome to the board and congratulations on finding your new Maverick. There are plenty of great people here who will be more than willing to help you with any questions you may have or to just shoot the breeze with.
You know, I was actually thinking about changing my screen name to that, but then will all of my posts start back at zero? i guess it isnt that big of deal, i only have like 8 of them right now anyways... well i have a few pics that Pete had up here, so you can take a look at those. Ill be sure to take more pics when I get the car. it was suppose to be picked up today at about 9am... i should get it in a few days :0) http://web.tampabay.rr.com/ax/Maverick/mav.html
Great find.:2_thumbs_ It will look fantastic once the body and paint work is done. Are you going to keep it the same color?
Hey Rick...that's a good looking car. You did good. As for changing your name I don't think it will effect your posting numbers. I guess to be on the safe side you might want to ask Stefan before you do so. Even if it did you won't lose that many. If I were you I would definitely use the new name. I think that one would be cool.
I was thinking about keeping the same color. Who knows... ill probably change my mind 100 times before it gets to that point. as for changing my name, i tried and someone else already has that name. Maybe some variation of it... Who is Stefan?
