    On Saturday i went to the Waterdown swap meet and car show with my daughter. The weather was great and sunny and it was the most packed with show cars that i have ever seen since it moved to the new location. Here's what i saw- One orange 351 Cleveland Maverick owned by Graham (who was at the meet and greet) orange_maverick_original.jpg That same guy selling that same blue 1970 (i think) Maverick with the blue strips. This picture is not from the swap meet but from another swap meet as i didn't bother to take another picture of it . ancaster_mav_rear_original.jpg Now the price has been reduced from $2600 to $1300 but it now seems to be missing more bits and pieces then when i took this picture. No drive shaft, rear end, motor, tranny or even wheels. I'm willing to bet that the next time i see this Maverick it will be missing the doors and hood, a shame really. I also picked up this Hotrod Magazine with a trick cover, very cool. hotrod_magazine_maverickmans_maverick_smaller_3_original.jpg I heard that this is the Maverickman's Maverick from a few years ago and that Hotrod Magazine changed the colour of the car for the cover. Am i wrong on this or right? Anyone? Huh?

    Either way my daughter Samantha and myself had a really good day at the Waterdown car show and swap meet.:thumbs2:
