    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    in california? a lot! the sun can destroy the paint in a couple of years here.

    But i dont live in TN so i dont know about you guys.

    theres a lot of cars that came with GT and Grabber options, when i joined a lot of people though i might have a grabber since mine had factory dual sport mirrors. But it's just plain jane maverick.

    The car has never been wrecked. The man's son drove it for the last 8,000 miles in the 2nd part of his senior year in high school. The son didn't like the orange color, so had it repainted.

    All well then, no use arguing over something so trivial. Glad to see someone so close! If you ever run across any front kick panels capable of housing 6 1/2" alpine speakers, let me know!

    Why yes it was on that lot in Red Bank. They were asking 7000 for it, but we worked 'em down to 4k :D. I think they still got a pretty good lookin Maverick sittin there as well.
