    Hi everyone. I am new to the board and a new Maverick owner.
    You probably seen it on ebay not too long ago, lol.

    My name is Margie, I am 28 and I live in North East Central Florida. (Flagler County - One county north of Daytona- Home of the Turkey Rod Run!)
    I have been reading this board for a few months. I signed up a few days ago and am very excited to make my first post.

    I had been looking for an afordable, decent, and attainable (driving distance wise) Maverick since I got my license- 11 years later I finally got it!

    It's a 1970. It was originally white but it was painted what I describe as graphite. Minimal rust but the inside is shabby. I look forward to restoring it from the inside out. Living in Florida, I am definitely going to get an A/C installed.

    I have some pictures and posts of the process of getting my car:

    The reasons why I wanted one so bad

    Up on the trailer

    Finally home

    I am so happy to meet you all and I am thankful for all the knowledge I have gained from this board already! You all rock! :bowdown:
