    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada!

    That tag is referred to as a "Buck Tag" and was used primarily on St. Thomas-built Mavericks. The colour code for your car is "Q", like Mike indicated, Medium Blue Met. Other little tid-bits of info on the Buck Tag are that your car was born on May 19th, 1970 (19E). The rotation number (last three digits usually hand written on rad support or inner fender somewhere and other pieces, such as wheels, etc for ease of ensuring they made it onto the correct car during assembly) is 0728. Regular 2dr Maverick Body code is "62A". Grabbers after 1970 were assigned "62D". And obviously, the "T377552" is the last of your VIN, which since we know your car is a 1970 (1970 = 0), it has a Buck Tag (St Thomas plant = X) and the only Maverick offered in 1970 was a 2dr (body = 91), your VIN should be 0X91T377552... :D If this is NOT correct, let me know.

    I have taken the liberty of adding you and your VIN to the VIN List, under "Resources":
