    1970 Maverick
    Lord its been a long time....my 1970 Mav. has been in the shop for a month and a half getting a brake booster and just overall maintanence and I'm finally getting it back on saturday. For those that remember, I am the 16 year old that picked up the yellow Mav. in Blueridge. I can't tell you how many times the mechanic has told me, "this is the most amazing 36 year old car i've ever worked on". Absolutley no rust, interior = perfection...its basically new (the seat belts in the back seat were still in their original plastic wrappers!) And no worries, pictures will be up VERY soon! Thanks for all ya'lls help....i couldn't have done it without you guys! :bouncy:

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Sounds great.What kind of booster did you get installed?...i'm tired of that ugly looking one i have, and i'm debating on going to a GEO one, or converting to manual.

    Cool, we definately need some pictures. I knew that was a great car. I would have snatched it up back in January if I had the money at the time. Glad to see it went to a good home.
