Another Maverick sighting with pics...

Well, long story short I am in the middle of putting another transmission (T5) in my dad's '95 Mustang GT. He got a transmission from a '92 Mustang. Input shaft is wrong for the '95, of course. Original '95 input shaft was destroyed. Took off work early today and went up to MPS and picked up a like new input shaft. On the way back, I was sitting at a red light and looked over and saw this Maverick sitting there. So I pulled off to take a closer look.

According to the VIN, it's a '71 non grabber car with a 200 6 cylinder built at Kansas City. I like the wheels.

Of course all I had to write with was a small nub of a pencil, and I didn't have any paper to write on. I did however have some Summit decals that they give you everytime you buy something down there. So I scribbled best I could with the nub of a pencil, "see website: www.mmb.maverick.to" on the back side of the decals and stuck it under the windshield wiper. Maybe we will hear from the owner... Car was sitting in a little parking lot off of 211 of of I-85 North. Chateau Elan was less then a quarter mile away just on the other side of I-85 N.

Here are the pics. The camera in my cell phone isn't the highest quality, obviously.

 

Boy! We Georgia guys can carry a camera but not writing paraphernalia.:16suspect

 

Good job reporting Jamie! How did miss the other Maverick park beside it??? he he

Can you tell me what you do to get cell pic's on the computer? Thanks!

 

Well, on my phone, you hit "menu", scroll over until you see "get pix" and hit "ok". Scroll down to "my pix" and hit "ok" again. It then comes up with thumbnails of all the pics I have taken. Select the one you want and press "ok" again. Then hit "options", scroll down to "send" and press OK again. Then you can punch in the email address and hit send. Go to your email from your computer, download the pics and post them here.

That's how my Verizon (samsung) phone works, anyway. I'm sure it'd be a little diffrent on other types of phones. Looks like alot of steps, but litererally only takes me a few seconds to send a pic.

 

Thanks Jamie, will work on the cell camera.

 

Your cell phone takes way better pictures than mine. I like those wheels too although, they need a center cap in my opinion.

 

on my old cingular LG phone if you want to send a pic you go into the album and view the pic and hit send. when it gives you the screen to type in your buddie's cell phone number you instead type in your email adress. few minutes later its sitting in your inbox. i think some newer phones have some kind of usb cable to allow you to transfer multimedia back and forth between your phone and computer but that tech is a little out of my price range for the time being

 

That is a nice looking mav! I wonder if it's still got the 170.

 

Yea, I can get the USB cable for mine, for 35 bucks... thanks, but I'll just send the pictures to my email.

 

Hey, got the email figued out! Thanks Jamie! Now I got to find a maverick and lose my pencil!

 

No problem, glad you 'figgured it out.

Internet access is $5 a month extra on my phone. I have not got any excess charges on my bill yet, and I have sent quite a few pics to my email. It did cost $1.99 to download a ringtone (Metallica - Enter Sandman) though.

 

I can remember when we used a phone to talk to people on , and a camera to take pictures with . I must be getting old, my cell phone is just that, a phone, to talk on .Next thing you know, you won't need a radio, you will be able to listen to music on your phone . What's this world coming too?

 

Well Bobby, I hate to say it, but I can also download music on my phone and plug headphones into it. And my phone is just the cheapo one. You should see my dad's phone, you can talk on it like a normal phone, or it opens up sideways with a miniature wide screen with speakers on either side, and you can use it just like a little handheld laptop to surf the internet. And it's smaller and thinner then my phone!
