now i know why its hard to find parts

Just looking at the new members page and there are 8 different new members that "have just picked up a maverick". Not that im mad at them, but when did our car become so popular?

 

in 1970, but thats just my guess

 

You should have been around 20 years ago.

 

im sure parts where a bit easier to get 20 yrs ago!

 

there were parts and cars galore, even 15 ears ago. Cars all over inthe junkyard. I picked up a couple of cars for $150 each just to part and scrap. threw out alot of good parts back then not thinking they would be worth anything because there were so many out there.

 

Take a trip to cali. I see a new maverick every week! In my city alone i know where 15 are

 

I did the same STUPID thing!

 

Considering the last Mavericks & Comets were built 33 years ago....
Even in the 80's around here, you'd have a hard time finding parts in the auto wreckers, they just didn't last long in the salt.

 

This is true, but here in AZ? you would think there would be dozens in the bone yard.

 

Not in my part of cali besides mine I know of 1 other..

 

i know of 3 maverick and where thay are at

i have seen a black mav and a primered comet

and i seen a mav that was beat up (wrecked from front to back) driving around one day

 

You guys have all the good detroit metal and in the desert nothing but rice burners.

 

They are about 12 Mavericks in my town that I know of. Population abt. 20,000

 

Yep I spent most of my teenage school years at Mikes auto wreckers in the mid-late 80's. They maybe had 2or3 Mavs at a time and they were all rotten except one California plated car that I still kick myself for not buying. No idea how it ended up in our yard with Cali plates.

 

i only know of one mav right down below my dads house and a 70's model comet out in the country. finding parts for a maverick around here is like finding a needle in a haystack
