Who Owns or has seen a Real 1969 Maverick?

I owned 4 of them in th eearly 90's.....

This is my old street/strip car.....

 

Bill in Spanaway has one as a parts car....

 

My car is a 69.5, I have had it for 12yrs. Key on dash!

 

The one pictured in my avatar that I have been building for, what seems like forever, is a 69.5 key under dash

 

We have a 69 1/2 and a 70

 

My front bumpers are from a 69.5 lol I saw it at pickand pull all pretty but I just wanted buyers. Key was on dash too

 

I have a 69.5, 200 6cyl, column shift auto, 42652 miles, green with black interior, Spokane Wa

 

My project car is a 69.5

My 70 looks better, but has a lot of hidden and not-so-hidden rust issues. The 69.5 is solid, and already has the 5-lug, front disk and V-8 conversions done, and a posi (spool) 8" rear. I'm adding the Grabber hood, spoiler and stripes.

I like the subtle uniqueness of the 69.5's, so I'm leaving the key on the dash, though I may swap in a wider/taller trans tunnel depending on if I go
Toploader or T-5

So, when all is said and done, I'll have a 69-and-a-half Maverick Grabber.

I too, own a 69.5.

 

I swapped in a larger tunnel out of a 72 into my 69.5. It gave me a ton more room for the toploader shifter linkage plus the V-Gate shifter won't be hanging out the side of the tunnl anymore. Another benifit is you can buy a carpet that will actually fit a 72 tunnel

 

Are you saying i can't buy carpet that will my 69.5? That means i will have to do a really good job on my floor.......oh boy!

 

No one makes a molded carpet for the small 69.5 tunnel. A carpet for a 71 will fit but some owners have said that they have used extra padding over the tunnel and that helped a lot

 

Good!!! I thought i was gonna have to do a custom finish on my floor. Whew.....do u know hard it would be to make the floor of a Maverick look like glass?

 

haha, speaking of glass, I just fiberglassed over some rather large sized rust holes in my floor board today, they were under the back seat so not really worried about them. My first time ever using fiberglass. that stuff is super easy.
