    Well for some reason i bought another dang ugly old maverick:hmmm: Its a 4 door green with a dark green vinyl top(TOre up bad). Bench seats.Drum brakes :( 250 automatic. Interior is all there nice looking interior. The doors and everything are rust free. But the quarters and every where that sourounds the doors is rusted bad it could be fixed i dont know abou the cowls or floor pans yet just got home minutes ago. They couldnt get it started this and that but we put a good battery and alot of gas in there got it started drove it about 30 miles home but the alternator is bad so it died on the way home. It has brand new tires and original rims they included and new tires with mag wheels on it also. We drove home to get 2 more batterys once we get back we are gonna change the alternator. Pull the vinyl top paint the roof black or grey or a dark green. Gonna use it as a beater it sucks the hell out of gas because the carb is loose and manual choke it needs to be tightened up. Theres alot wrong but nothing serious its my first four door i guess i gotta keep it lol :rolleyes: Only picture i have i will post more tommorrow once we pressure wash it and clean it up. The picture i have is how it was sitting in the weeds.

    So just out of curiosity, what do your parents think of you wanting all of these older cars not to mention you happen to own 5 of them.
