    After biding my time waiting for what I thought was the right car I found it, it was posted in the For Sale Forum..http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?p=181872#post181872 I went to pick it up today in Charlotte.
    Katie goes to take her test for a permit Wednesday and I'm going to give it to her then, ( She doesn't know I have it:evilsmile )
    It's a 69.5, auto, aftermarket air, straight and solid, lotsa dust but no rust.
    Regie description of the car was dead on, starts effortlessly and runs straight and smooth.
    I started cleaning it up when I got home ( that's right Rick Book)...I just couldn't stand it;) . The paint is heavily oxidated, I carefully wet sanded the drivers rear quarter and buffed it out, came out ok.
    I really like the color although it looks blue it's more of an Aquamarine....here are a few pics

    I'm glad it was you (or one of us from the board) that got it! Major Grats! (y)

    (and I feel a lot better now that it's cleaner ;) )

    Hey Rick
    Congrats on the car. I really wanted that car but just couldnt swing it right at this time . Im so glad that someone got it that will appreciate it like it deserves. Hope Katie loves it and treats it with the respect it deserves because its a "Survivor"
    Later Tim

    Very clean car. I'm assuming Katie is your daughter. That's great that you have a teenager that isn't embarrassed to drive an old Maverick. Hope my daughter is the same way in 9 years.:tiphat:

    You going to let her drive the drag Comet?:)

    Nice car .... my buddies teenage daughter got in 3 accidents within 6 months of getting her license ... no way a teenager would be driving one of my Mavericks ... Lucky for him it was a late model Acura and $8000 later it's looking as good as new! Good luck ... :)
