    Awesome! I've had my current car 14 years and done the most to it (347 crate engine, 5-speed and back-halfed) of the four I've had. My first was a '71 Grabber 50 years ag0.

    Longest Maverick ownership I'm aware of is Dennis Martin's (Mavaholic) '72 Sprint he's had since new.

    Rudy Bidlack may have him beat. I think his car is a 1971 and he bought it new.

    Bull Nose! I remember him from Roundup in Indiana.
    Yeah, thinking about it more, there's a local guy that has had his '71 Grabber since new. Right after he got it he put on headers, a 4-speed, and 4.11 gears and used to blow off Vettes with it.
