    Looking
    At the Alantic City Car Show and Auction this year i was looking around for maverick cars and things. Well i dont know if you guys have seen another one anywhere but i found a Maverick Promo Model. It was neat cause they had one that was still in the box. They wanted a really high price so I did not buy it. I havent seen another maverick promo model before at any other shows. Have you?

    Look on ebay

    There is a couple on ebay now. I purchased 2 off ebay last year. Can get one
    cheap depending on the bidding. Dont recall but i think both of mine were less
    that 20 bucks each.

    I have plans on getting some , cutting them up (opening hood and trunk , might do the doors) , and detail them to make them "real" models :) .

    Nice job on the Sprint model Mavaholic. I'm working on doing replica models of our 2 Mavs.

    Hey Maine Mav That sounds like a great idea, too bad they didn't make any 73 promo models or any 4-doors but o well.

    Yeah, the bumper won't be accurate, but it's close enough. There's a company that makes a resin 4 door Maverick body. I think it's Perry's Resin, but I'm not sure.
