    Here are a few pics of a 72 Maverick that I found in the local free classifieds. The guy didn't realize what he had and I got it for $500. Its a one owner, all original California car with a v8-auto. The car is in great condition-very solid body with little rust and the engine runs perfect! After 16 years I have been reunited with the 72 Maverick.

    Great find, Erick. We only paid $400 for our Stallion, but it was in nowhere near as nice a shape as your 72'. You done good.(y)

    I had another lucky find...There's a junkyard down the street from me (there's hardly any left out here) that I decided to check out for fun. Suprisingly, they had a 72 Maverick with all kinds of great parts that I snagged today. This chain of about a dozen junkyards in southern California said they only had 2 Mavericks, one 1970 down in Chula Vista and this one...this is getting fun, except my friends and family think I'm going crazy.:D

    -Erick

    P.S. If anyone needs some parts off of the junkyard car, I can get it for you. The interior is blue.
