    Is there a good place to see the color palette of the 1976 Mavericks. I am going this afternoon to look at a 76 and based on the pictures on craigslist, the color of the instrument panel, this car was originally a medium blue with a slight hint of teal. Is this an original color? (The outside has been painted an silvery blue).

    Also if anyone has seen this car in Nashville, I would appreciate any insight. This is my first Maverick and need all the help I can get.

    I tried to figure out how to add a picture to post, but apparently don't have enough priviledges yet. :)

    Thanks, I saw that link earlier and that is what got me wondering if this was original color on the instrument panel. The color in the picture does not match any of the colors on that site.

    Thanks, the exterior turned out to be silver blue glow. I guess the interior was not a match on the exterior paint, just a complimentary color. I wish the exterior were the same color as the interior. It was a nice shade.
