    Hi! My parents and I just bought a 1970 Maverick! It has 100,350 original miles, and the owners mother was the original owner!! All original parts and the mechanic that has been working on it for the family for the last 15 years was there to talk with us. It still drives and basically only needs a new paint job with new tires! Could use some cosmetic interior work, but nothing I cant live with. We are looking forward to viewing your photos and reading your messages to get ideas on restoration. As soon as the forum activates my uploading ability, we will submit photos. Looking forward to suggestions.
    Abby

    Thank you- we are hoping to find someone in the Ft Worth area to paint it.
    Your rebuild you did is gorgeous!

    If you need help or parts send me PM. I do not know a painter. I do have a Maverick friend in Keller that should know someone.
