    I have a 1969 1/2 maverick that I stumbled on and ended up saving from the scrapper , it has the 2 spoke steering wheel with horn ring, dash mounted ignition switch, 170 CID six with the infamous and I think rare semi-automatic 3 speed trans., 4 lug wheels and all of the other early Maverick identifiers. I would love to put this car in the hands of a collector as I think it is fairly rare.

    I have always heard about the semi automatic transmission but have not seen a car with it. Good job saving it from the scrapper hopefully someone will bring it back to its glory days. Some pictures would be an asset in selling it

    I have only ever seen ONE Maverick with the Semi-Automatic....so it has to be super rare. I should have bought it.

    The only semi-automatic trans I've ever seen was in an old VW bug. Basically a manual with no clutch pedal.

    My car had one when I bought it, and it went to the scrap heap the next day.
