Pictures of all the mavericks you have owned

Well i thought this would be cool for people like craig dave and others that part out cars. Its for mavericks and comets. IF you have pictures just post a picture of every maverick or comet you have owned and tell what happened to them.
It will take me a while to get to gether all the pictures.

 

just mav's or comets too?

 

You want them all in one post?

 

I have owned 11 I have 10 of the pictures on my computer. Here are the first 5.

The first picture is my 73 i still own it. The second Picture is my 71 i still own it. The third picture is a 72 grabber that got crushed within a couple days of me owning it. The fourth 75 4 door maverick i sold it they use it as a driver. The fifth picture is a 1970 maverick that is still alive and getting restored.

 

He only asked for Mavs...

 

I realized that would be impossible. And yes comets and mavericks matt.

 

Here are the other 4 i have pictures of. The first one is a 72 grabber that was used as a parts car i do not know if it still exists or not. The second one is a 72 LDO comet that i got in georgia i still have it. The third one is a 73 comet GT i got in georgia i sold it for restoration. The fourth one is a 74 comet LDO i bought today will be used for parts but i still have it lol. The last picture is a 1970 Car that a tree fell across i got the car for free it has been crushed also.

 

I've owned 6 complete cars (that I can think of, my wife says more..)
These 3, are in my garage now.
Front left to right, 74 White/Orange 302 Grabber, 73 Brown/Ginger 302, A/C Grabber, 73 Green/Green 302, A/C Grabber

This is a 74 Comet I bought for parts (I know it's hard to believe)

This is a picture, of my White/Orange 74 Grabber, just the way I bought it.Wow, my 88 5.0L is in the background, along with my wife's Camaro....

My very first Maverick, a 74 Grabber, Red/Black 302, floor shift


Man, this car was rotten!! ran like crap, the timing chain was all busted up, had a few bent pushrods...
And finally, the only picture I seems to have of my 75 Comet, well the fenders...the car gave what it could for my white Maverick...

 

Someone is going to try to restore that thing? :16suspect

 

Yup She said she was gonna join here so

 

That's what I thought...being in the south, you'd think you could find something waaaaaaay better.

 

You most definitely can. The body on that thing was very rough, what was left of the rear quarter's was literally flapping in the wind.. The floors weren't any better. Pretty neat car originally, I'd love to see it restored, but it would be one heck of an undertaking.

 

They might realize they were overwelhmed and part it out there were enough parts to make their money back. We accidently included high back cuda seats with it that were worth almost as much as is worth

 

I had two Mavericks in the early to mid seventies and they were quite stock. My daily was a '71 Grabber yellow car that we swapped the 6 cylinder, 3 speed drivetrain for a 302 & 4 speed. (That 4 speed and 9" are going into my '72 soon.) The other was my wife's daily Cinnamon '73 with a 250 cube 6 and C-4 auto. Rust issues caused me to cut up the 71 and retain everything but the body. The '73 got traded for the Atlantis Blue '79 Trans Am we still have. I'd post pictures as requested but I don't have a scanner and they looked similar to Mavericks that people on here own.
