Hey guys, I figure that with all of the proud Maverick/Comet owners that we have on this forum that Mavericks and/or Comets were probably the first vehicle for a lot of folks. Is that true? If not, what was your first vehicle? This is the first Mav that I have ever owned, my first car was a 1971 VW Karmann Ghia. Great first car, very easy to work on/modify. CommieHook
My first car was a maverick a 72 302 auto had her for 2 years coming up here in 2 weeks she's not my daily driver no more but still drive her every weekend
Well, I am sure there are some that had a Maverick as their first car, but mine was a 52 Chevy Htp with 54 Corvette 6cyl and 3spd. She used to eat up those 265 Chevy V8s back in the day. Here is a picture in 1964 with "a girl friend" in the drivers seat. The only issue was the torque tube driveline, and I used to eat up tranmission at least every month or so, good thing we had a wrecking yard not far away and for $15 I could get another trans. Because the car had a removeable tunnel I could take the trans out from inside the car and I had it down to completely replace the trans in a little over 1 hour. Thanks for the memories................those were some really great days back then...............long before most of you guys were born.
My first was a 64 olds F85. My first maverick was my 5th or 6th car bought it about 30 years ago. Olerodder: Do you still have the girlfriend?
My first car is the Falcon that is in my sig pic. My dad bought it new in Jan 1960 and gave it to me on my 16th birthday back in 1971. I still have all of the original papers like the Bill of Sale, Sale Contract, Title, Bank Receipts and Tag Receipts. I have a few receipts from the Parts stores form 1967 and '69
First car was a 1970 Toyota Corona, never could keep a clutch in it, second was 1969/1970 Maverick 2 door 170 ci I6 auto, dark green metallic white interior, flipped that one and totaled it.
My first car was a 1965 Ford Falcon, 6 cyl - automatic - all white 4 door, that my Dad bought new in September of 1964. He bought a brand new 1973 pinto in late 72 and I bought the Falcon from him.

1941 Ford coupe at age 15. My dad gave it to me when the engine wore out. Got an engine at a junk yard for $25, put it in and was thrilled to have wheels. Lots of memories in that old car!!
My first car was a 1977 Toyota Celica. It was a quick little car. It had Centerline wheels with big fat tires in the rear that I could(and did) light up all day long.
