    :Welcome: to the board.

    We were talking about that car in the auction discussion section when you "grabbed" it with the BIN.

    Keep us posted on what it is like when you pick it up. Also, if driving it home, be preparred for a bunch of people giving you the (y) and some strange looks from people trying to figure out what you are driving!

    Nice car.
    Remember the finned cover on the lights can be removed and replaced with a Shelby type trim around it for a smoother look if you so choose.
    The best thing about those lights is the sequential function that was original with them.
    If they don't have the sequential units with them, you can pick some up and put them in for a neat touch.
    Welcome!

    So, what is it about Georgia and Mavericks??? Is it some kind of genetic phenomenon?

    Down here in Texas, I am pretty much the only guy with a running Maverick within a 100 mile radius. It sounds like you could pull into the local K-Mart parking lot and see 10 of em in Georgia...

    I might have to move there :D

    Must have been a northern car. Most original Georgia cars only have very minor rust.
