Key on the dash...not on the column. Horn ring on steering column instead of a horn pad. Metal data tag on the door instead of a data sticker on the door jamb. Different type of sticker located on trunk lid not found on any other year of Maverick (68-69 Ford's and Mercury's had them. Called a "Safety Act" sticker. Ford part #C8AB-6220472-A Jim Osborne reproduces it.) Front suspension had a 4-bolt ball joint and 1970-197 had a 3-bolt. Anything else???
gas tank on the 69.5 was a drop-in,(top of tank was part of the trunk floor)all others were mounted under the trunk floor.scuff plates are different alltogether,backseat mounting locations different.inside of car,under the winshield seal,different #of screws that hold the dash to the cowl area.also the 69.5 was based on the falcon chassis,and i do believe the tranny tunnel on the 69.5 is a little narrower than the later years.
