Maverick Sprint in Guam.

I was talking to one of the teachers here where I work, and she always tells me about the Maverick she had when she was younger. It was her parents and they shipped it to her in Guam while she was stationed there in the Navy. Well she finally showed me a picture of it, and it looks to me to be a Sprint! So there is a Maverick Sprint in Guam! Probably the only of it's kind. Lol. Poor lonely Maverick. Attached is a picture. So it looks like that can be added to the registry, lol.

Thats pretty cool. Can you get me any more information on it? LIke what years it was there, last time it was seen, any options she remembers, her name, etc. I have a "where are they now" section I'm working on and definately would like to add that one to it.

 

I just got back from Guam in October, and I swear I saw 2 or 3 Mavs there. Guam has a tendency, like Puerto Rico (which has lots of Mavericks!) to have a collection of older cars, especially cheap old cars. The problem is, in Guam, when the car, or washing machine, or mobile home, starts to rust or break down, there are no junk yards, so the islanders just push it out to the street and let it rust away.

I loved it there, very beautiful country, but I guess they need some means of getting their junk off island. New cars come in, and there are lots of car lots, but when they break down, they just have to sit around.

I recognize that in reality, there may be a few junk yards...I just didn't see any, and I doubt that most islanders would pay for the junk to be hauled off, and I saw a lot of this when I was there (see below, this is the beginning of a trail at a state park).

 

looks like a lot of the dirt roads on the edge of town out here(which is usually federal land). costs dimes on the dollar to go to the junkyard, but people would rather push it out of the truck into the desert. yes the desert can be pretty, when there arent piles of trash.

 

that where are they now is a neat thing your doing...id like to find the previous owner to my 71 grabber! how cool would that be!!

 

Neat car,neat story, that Teacher looks like she is 6 ft or taller

 

neat story.

 

cool story. Thanks for sharing...

 

Ha Ha Ha.....

As the newlywed wife of a Puerto Rican, I can say that he is correct. There are some junkyards there, but they have to pay dearly for parts and they charge going out the other side. Her mom got $200 for a '89 Tercel that you could sling a dead cat through-bad tranny and high miled smoker.

That's a neat story.

 

Why use a dead one?
