April 17. 1969 ????

april 17 1969

That was 39 years ago and just 1 day before my 17th birthday. How fast time has gone by.I guess this means I can celebrate today and tomorrow. MAVERICK

 

Happy birthday JT


I was 9 years old when the mav was introduced.

I had been playing guitar for about 6 months at that point, and was building model cars and hoarding Hot Wheels like crazy (they were intro'd in 1968).

I also got to hang out with my much-older second cousin who drag raced an alcohol front engine dragster. He moved on to an alcohol funny car. Permanently warped my litttle mind. Good times!

 

I was 13 yrs old, 115 lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal! ( I thought)

 

Ha! That's funny (and also sounds like me - only I was about 65 pounds of twisted steel! lol)

I see you are still trying to get rid of your space ship on craigslist.org.

I was 13 years old! I can remember the commercials, $1995 for a new Maverick, The Simple Machine! Happy Birthday Maverick

 

I didn't come along for about another 18 years. My dad was 7 years old. My great aunt, who is currently my oldest living relative, was 49 in 1969. Hard to believe she was already almost 50 that long ago, still going strong! I wouldn't be surprised if she lives to be 100.

 

Thanks CaptainComet. When the Maverick was born I was washing and waxing cars, trucks , and even airplanes, also mom and dads black 63 1/2 fastback 427 galaxie which I ended up getting 2 years later. Wish I still had it. Oh well.

Funny thing I got my Maverick on April 17th two years ago. The paperwork and everything was done that day. So it's kinda like I was my Maverick's present for its birthday.
