how many people on here were not born util after ford stoped making the maverick

old mopars start? anyways 2/22/84 just turned 21 not long ago :evilsmile

 

Hey Earl: I was born in 1950 also... came home in a 1949 torpedo back, up in northern Ontario... hey earl, how can your dad own a 1953 when you were born in 1950...Hmmmmmmmm only in america

 

The first car I can remember rideing in would probably be my dad's old 84' Mustang GT. Theres another car I wish we still had...

I was scared of my dad's Comet when I was little. We were going to a car show when I was 3 or 4 and I was in the back seat(when it still had back seats! ) . I remember being terrified because of the way that car sounded, I thought it was going to blow up!

 

I'm in the before Maverick (bm era).To be exact,16 yrs.bm.I can still smell the sweet odor of Sunoco 260.Bought my first tank of gas for I think .25/9.(gas war)thats what they called it then.Went to Frische's Big Boy every friday and saturday night to watch the cars roll thru the drive-in.Gabriel Hi-jackers and Mickey Thompson tires were the set-up to have.Mavericks were to new to modify yet,at least where I was at.Grabber colors were the coolest thing I ever saw.Was working 60 hrs. a week for $1.20 an hour plus going to High School (pumping gas and changing oil at my Uncles gas station)A new Maverick cost $1995.00 which seemed like a fortune.Life was good.

 

The first car I remember riding in was my moms 84 Mustange GT too. We still have it but it dont run. its one of the anniversary editions. Not very many of them made.

 

Earl has been around Frank too much and as result he lives in a retroactive time warp.

 

september 1988 here

 

I can hear them glasspacks too... wait that's my car running lol


12-13-85 for 19. Some people say I don't look a day over 17

 

March 11,1964 so I guess I'm one of the old men. lol
I was in the 5th grade when my dad decided to sell the 71 F100 that I have now. I remember coming home from school and seeing it for sale. thinking this is my truck as I pulled off the sale signs. I did this about 3 days in a roll until he took the truck back home. He gave it too me at 15 yrs old and I'm still driving it at 41. lol
My Grandmother had a Gold 4 door Maverick when I was around 13. It was a 302 car and I still remember taking it for a drive around the old dirt roads. What a blast

Oh man you guys are killin me. I was gray haired before some of you were born! My kids are in your age range (Born '79 & '88). I bought my first Mavericks in '90. They were both '72's. Had a friend with a '69 200 3spd we used to beat and it kept takin it. Always like 'em.

 

i remember in '72 my dad was looking for a smaller car to pull a camper trailer... test drove a maverick with a 302 and 3 on the tree. ended up buying a 72 nova with a 350 and 3 on the tree cuz the maverick he said was TOO fast. overkill...as far as my age???? well lemme put it this way-i used to WATCH MAVERICK with my dad. any other of you fossils remember that show?

 

I remember the TV show Maverick and the other westerns of the time. Heck I even remember watching I love Lucy before they were re-runs. Dang I'm feeling old.

I think I'm 17, but my body keeps telling me otherwise. So do my kids!

 

My 16th birthday is coming up in April......for the third time.....

 

the first car i remeber riding in was my dads 1976 fire bird or his 1966 f-100.
