    I really didn't need it but I found a great buy. A 74' Maverick with the LDO package. It has a working A/C and a COMPLETELY rust free body with a nice interior. Wow...not sure of the factory color name but if you mixed pumpkin and mustard together and mellowed it out a bit, I think this would be a fair representation of it's outer skin. A good daily driver with a little "slop" in the front-end. I had a base brown 2 door years ago and a cream puff 4 door that is still on the road today. One of the color matched wheel covers is in need of repair/replacement. KNOW ANYBODY WITH ONE???? I'll enjoy this site with all of you Maverick (and Comet) owners.

    I see those color matched wheel covers on eBay all the time. Just keep a watch on there.

    Appreciate ya fellows

    Hey, thanks for the welcome fellows! Especially thanks to ford84stepside for the decoding offer and to rayzorsharp for the good word on finding a color matching H/C. I know it's not a Shelby but it makes me smile to look at it in my garage and drive it around town......
