    I really like that car.

    I do to not bad at all wish I had a front view. I wouldn't mind having an early maverick. If they are done right I think they would look pretty dang nice personally I know some people really don't like them.

    It sure looks better that the later model with the crash bumpers.

    Here is a decent one in LA.  Probably a little overpriced, IMHO, but decent.

    Not much detail but it looks like a better deal.  All original and only 60k miles.

    http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/4226987974.html

    Here is a one owner CA desert car, with air and only 79k mi.  A little pricey again but I doubt there is any rust, anywhere.

    http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/4232309467.html

    If I were to take on another car project, it would either be one of these or a super clean Fairmont.   I think these Mavericks are still easier to find in decent shape,

    Thats a very nice Mav.  That was the 1st car I went over a 100 mph in. So they have a special place in my mind.

    Re: What do ya think customized maverick

    I had a 71 or 72 Comet GT.  I bought it back in 1988 for a winter car for $275.00.  I wish I would of kept that car.   It  only had a little rust on the Back Fenders.  It was Green and the cool hood scoop on it with a 302.  I kept it for the Winter Season and sold it in the spring for $500.00.

    Sort of off your topic, but I always wondered, were the tail lights the same as used on the Mercury Bobcat?

    Re: What do ya think customized maverick

    My question would be, if you undertook a Maverick project, what is the availability of parts and pieces to do it.  Certainly, due to their age, they would need many things.  Many a specimen, regardless of how sound and complete, would undoubtedly need many things to bring it up to standard.

    I also doubt you would find few donors in the salvage yards to help you along.

    Well motor tranny and all that would be easy seance they're same as a mustang metal work another story but can easily be fabricated with some skills. Other than that interior pretty easy unless chrome trim is what ya need
