came across a 70 Maverick sitting in a carport and not been moved in a few yrs. Talked to the owner, it was a nice lady who special ordered the car in late 69. She wanted a white car, blue interior with AC.. and the local Ford dealer found her the car she wanted at a dealer in Phx. Its a 1 owner car, thats never left Tucson since it was first sold. She gave me the original bill of sale, warranty plate and owners manual for the car, she had all put away in plastic since she bought it. The car still wears its original wimbledon white paint too. All original rust free sheetmetal, and a slightly worn blue bench seat interior. Its a 6 cyl auto car, with AC. And I think a really cool find. Only have one pic, of where it was sitting when I got it. Im actually bringing it home or to work Monday to start doing some work to it.
Congratulations!! Looks like a clean, straight car! I wonder when the taillight panel was painted black??
Nice looking car, could be a great everyday driver economical car.Also could be made very reliable,nice find.
I have pics she gave me of when it was still new and a few months old, she remembers it always being black, but who knows. The lady was 83, and about 8 yrs ago, she sold her white 70 Mach 1

I still havent had time to even wash it off or move it from the ladys yard.. but here are a few more pics.
