    I stumbled onto this 1973 Maverick online wile surfing the web. I had no intentions of buying another car but after reading the ad the rest is history..lol I purchased the car from the original owner who ordered it in 1973. He was a perfectionist in every aspect and I could only hope that every classic car could have an owner like him...

    What looks like runs is actually the sloppy Ziebart coating. I'm a little bummed about it but there is 0 rust on the car anywhere so I'll take that ha ha

    That is a pristine 40 year old car. Must have been garaged its whole life.

    Thanks guys !! Im thinkin about taken this one to Carlisle Ford Show. Last time I had the wife bring her Comet and I had mine there. There is a few unique things about the car like the A/C radiator he put in after taking delivery of the car cause he wanted the better cooling but didnt want the A/C option. The original radiator is in the trunk, I think he told me it had about 100 miles on it...lol
