    All the talk about Sprints lately got me to thinking. Were there any Mavericks painted two tone like the Sprint, but different colors? I'm talking about blue on top with white on bottom, or yellow on top with black on bottom, something like that. I know the 73-74 Grabbers were close to that style, their bottom color went over the wheel humps. And Stallions were different than that, but what I'm thinking about is the bottom color runs a straight line, just below the wheel humps and not over them, if I'm making myself clear. I'd like to see some side views if anybody has any painted that way. I'm sourcing different looks for mine......

    That's what I was thinking too. I think that the idea of the 2 tone is cool. I am just not turned on by the solid white and blue.

    I have seen an early Maverick painted like a sprint, but with red instead of blue. It had a red interior.

    How about the car in Grabber blue, with the bottom/tailpanel & hood stripe in black-trimmed with a red pinstripe?
