    As stated in the Title I'm Mike, I am 29 a father of two and I own a 1977 numbers matching 302 ci four door Ford maverick LDO with 45k original miles.
    I am the tecnical third owner of this car, my father being the second. The car "Mavi" as we have taken to calling her was bought in late '98 from th eoriginal owner. He had bought the car brand new for his daughter to drive back and fourth to collage. After a few years of school She decided the 4 door sedan was not for her, and it was returned to her father and it was driven when his truck needed work. Mavi was parked in his dirt floor barn for several years untill he decided to sell it...Thats where my father steps in, He once had a '72 grabber and was in need of a car. He bought the car in the fall of '98 and drove her for about a year untill he sold her to me the fallowing summer (for a profit I might add) I drove her daily for about two years untill I decided to park her about 6yrs ago to rebuild and restore her to her original (if not slightly beefed up) glory ;)
