    Hello Maverick group,
    Was searching GOOGLE and found where you guys were bashing Pintos.
    WELL T.L. Y don't you tell how you really feel about Pintos and STOP "sugar coating" it for us!!!! ;)

    Heck, I like Maverick's LOTS better than Mustangs.
    You guys have a GREAT site here..... I'll hang out a while and browse a bit...
    Later...

    Yes that is 1 of my Pintos. I have 9 1971-73 Pintos
    I have 3 that are 4 sale and 4 that are keepers and really nice.

    My Green pinto was in a video that you can see on U-tube
    Rollin in my Pinto
    A 1971 1/2 hatch in Mustard Yellow "Stock" 2.0 auto
    And a red 72 wagon Original. 2.0 4spd
    You have seen the Purple Pinto 2.0 AK Miller turbo
    I went to Knottsberry show in april
    and Carlisle + Tulsa meet in june 2007
    Probally have run into some of your Maverick members there???

    Welcome aboard Pintony. I too have seen several Pintos I thought were cool. You are in about the same situation as me...I have more Mavericks than I need too. Come across a Sprint Pinto, I'd like to add it to my coral to go with my Sprint Maverick. :thumbs2:

    Hello Grabber71,
    I had my Purple Pinto there in 06 and 07.
    In 06 I drove it all the way to california. 07 I trailered and took my family.
    I thought Knottsberry was a winery Not an amusement park...
    Well when my Cindy saw the photos of the Roller Coasters I had to make it a family trip.:idea:
    Check out this great shot I ggot while driveing I am stopped at what I thought was Pinot road exit but discovered it was PintA road.
    The ROUCH truck that attended the Knotts show 06 was just passing us on the ramp, somewhere in the desert headed to Calif.
    And YES I am just stopped in the middle of the road ;)
    TOO COOL!!!

    Heh, at least the cable guy properly mis-named my car5 today as a "falcon" i was outside trying to torubleshoot a charging problem (different post) and had her started, sounds a bit evil, adn he asked "what size motor you got in that ol' falcon" i properly corrected, it's a maverick, factory 302... ^_-

    Welcome Tony
    Glad you stopped in, great car.
    Even if you are a little late to flame on TL!
    He liked that sort of thing, so he got banned like they said.


    Cowboiup:
    Think about it...
    The Maverick is a Falcon.
    That is the car that it took over for with a new name.
    Then it became a Fairmont, Tempo, Contour, etc...
    Different names, same bloodline.
