    Here's something I ran across while doing some surfin. You've probably seen it before but I don't recall seeing it discussed and I couldn't hold myself back. While you could say it's probably the ugliest Maverick you've ever seen, it's one of those things we did in the seventies. Kind of like disco. Personally I like those 70's things. When you were there you said Holly Sheee's. At the time it was ugly and at the time disco did suck. But regardless of how bad it really was, you still found yourself tapping your toe to the beat:bananaman:dance::rofl2::yahoo::dancing:. A lot of gawdy stuff came from those days. I always smile when I look back....

    enjoy:

    Yeah I've seen that too. I thought it was weird because I work for a John Eagle dealership, and he had those made. Personally I don't like the front.

    I never knew that was Eagle...Also, didn't know Doug owned it now.

    Wasn't it available as a kit to add on, or was it just a few made and sold?
