    Well... My Sprint is #15 on Dennis Martins registry...So would that be 15 "Documented ones?" I know there has to be more than that...We got 3 or 4 more Sprint owners on the forum since I purchased mine...:huh:

    I have one. It still needs work before it will ever attend a car show. You can see it if you click on my Images.

    I also have a Mustang Sprint Sportroof and a Pinto Sprint. As far as I have been able to determine, I am the only person in the USA with all 3 Sprints. The Stang and Pinto, along with Mavoholic's Maverick, were all together at this past Silver Springs show in Ocala and will be featured in a 5 page spread in either the Sept-Oct or Nov- Dec issue of Legendary Ford magazine.

    Several Sprint Mavericks have surfaced in the past couple of years here. They are still rare and desirable and congratulations on your ownership.
