    i saw a pretty nice maverick. black with silver stripes on the side of the road on interstate 10, arizona, at milepost 216. i had my trailer behind me and was doing about 75. didn't have time to stop, but it looked like there was fluid on the ground. i got off at the next exit and came back on the frontage road but he passed on the freeway. thought he might need a hose or something. i had my maverick in the trailer and had spare parts. was wondering if it was anyone from on here? had az. historical plates.:)

    I saw a Maverick or Comet Tuesday night about 2 o'clock in the morning heading into Washington D.C. on 270 and 495 loop. It was red with black stripes with Virginia Plates. He jumped on the freeway as I exited onto 270 from 70 in Frederick, MD. I followed him for quite awhile before I passed him and went on. Would have loved to of stopped him but not too many people would enjoy a semi truck flashing his lights at them.....LOL

    Seth, I think you would have liked this car. Pretty much identical to yours. It was a '73, red with a black stripe going down the side. Someone had stuck a 71 or 72 bumper on the front and a Grabber spoiler on the rear. Had black interior with bucket seats, 302/C4 floorshift, magnum 500 wheels. I think the guy was asking around 4,000 for it.

    Car didn't appear to have any rust, but had lots of little dents and dings here and there.

    Sounds neat. Any pics?

    Tim was helping me with my fuel filter problems. It made it the rest of the
    way home, Tim. It was good seeing you and Rhonda.

    Don, was it a grabber? Red interior? There's one down here with that paint job.

    looked like a grabber. couldn't see the interior. did have a small sunroof. hard to get too good a look at 75-80 mph with a 28 ft enclosed trailer behind.:)

    Yup.

    Aftermarket sun roof. The guy got it out of CO. for $2000 and it's a really sweet body and the interior is like new, maybe redone. Original 302. Maybe I can pick it up cheap, lol, I'll go by his house tomorrow.
