    I was talking to Dad about how it been hard to find parts for my 76 stallion...at least in Minnesota anyway....if you do the 10% rule there should be about 552 or so stallions left...I know on the stallion registry they have 19....plus I see the ones pictured in the gallery on this forum....there is only one I have seen here in MN. its stock but it has a incorrect red stripe...I wonder how many are left?????any thoughts??:hmmm:

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    It's impossible to know, but I'd guess 500-1000.

    Any stallion is a rare car when it comes to mavericks, so you don't have to worry about that.

    If I had to guess, I would think Craig might be pretty close too.

    Yes stallions. Or at least they are done up like stallions. It's hard to say if they rolled off the line that way. I can't imagine why other than the 2 restored they wouldn't be though.:yup::drive:

    If I hadn't already found a build for my current yard brick, I would build a stallion. I have really gotten to like the style even with the Gregorian horse head symbol.:thumbs2:

    I would love to have a grabber a gt, a big bumper tucked and a comet. I am sure there will be more added in the future. In a dream world would love to get that LS1 grabber build but yeah that is a way out there dream. :drive:
