    I was last on this forum in 2011 looking for the Maverick I had bought in California in 1981 with the license plate 1BADMAV. I never found it but always wanted another Maverick. So today after 35 years I finally bought another. It was hard to resist. It does have some mechanical issues but it does not have rust. I crawled under and over and found no sign of any rust, except surface rust in the trunk from standing water.
    I will have plenty to post later and plenty of questions to ask!

    My short term plans are to go through it mechanically and use it as a daily driver. Long term is about a 300 horsepower 302, AC (hey I’m 59) Mustang II suspension and probably bucket seats. But I want this to remain my daily driver and not be afraid to hop in it and a road trip.
