    Just wanted to share with you Maverick & Comet lovers. My wife and I won Top 25 at the 2011 Frankenmuth Michigan Autofest. You can view the winners at this web site frankenmuthautofest.org/gallery. Our's is the 1971 Red Grabber. The show has aprox 2500 to 3000 cars according to the show event program. We also won an award with our 1969 Ford F250 Ranger with Coachmen Camper. This was a weekend for us to remember. Our Mav received a nice beer stien that said 2011 Franenmuth Autofest and a jacket that is embossed with 2011 Frankenmuth Top 25 winner. Our 1969 Truck/Camper named BIG COUNTRY also won a beer stien for the Best Back Seat Award. We were truly blessed.

    Nice going. The Mav looks great. That pic of your camper brought back many great memories that we had with the kids years ago with our 75 super-cab and later 78 crew-cab and star-fire slide in. (y)

    That Maverick is just the way I like them. Mostly stock with some tasteful vintage wheels. Mine has Torq Thrusts aswell. (y)

    The bike looks like it has Grand Typhoon tires. I just put a set on mine.
