    I just bought a 1970 Ford Maverick. I'd never driven a car pre 1989 model year, every car I've driven has had PS/PB.

    I've owned/driven 7 cars in my 12 years of driving. 6 Mustangs (1989, 1991, 1997, 2001, 2001, 2012) and one Nissan Skyline (1996, RB20).

    So, I'm looking forward to getting familiar with these old cars for a long time.

    Mine is an all original 2-door, 49k original miles, 200ci inline 6, Auto Trans, gold with tan split bench interior. Drives good, although needs a tune up. Been in a barn most it's life. No rust anywhere, really a pretty car. I hope to get to know some of you guys and get some advice on parts and what not.

    More pics to come soon

    The vin is all you need. You can get a marti report from martiauto.com it will tell exactly how your car was equipped when it left the factory. Enjoy your new Maverick. I really like that color on it!
