Love the '68 Cougar! Bought a '67 GT when I first joined the Army in 1976. Wish I never got rid of it. Bought 2 after that, but they couldn't replace it ...70 here. I bought my 22 XLT EB Lux AWD the same day I started looking for one (10/21/21). It was on the dealer lot, having just been refused because the wife of the guy who ordered it decided she didn't like Velocity Blue. Paid MSRP with no gimmicks or add-ons while other folks were calling the dealership about it.
The Maverick replaced a paid-off 2014 Wrangler Rubicon and a 1969 Corvette so there was no financing needed. It recently turned over 10K miles.
For fun, there's the 1993 Lightning and the 1968 Cougar XR-7 GT. We gave up the motorcycles when we started our family, planning to go back when the kids were old enough to not need us but then cell phones and distracted drivers put that plan to bed.
13 “unlucky for some, lucky for others”, as Mr Humphries says.
Baby Bluz has her work cut out for the next several months!
I like what's in your toy box!
It doesn't matter, some young people think like an old man, and some old men still think they're still teenagers! I'm sure you'll enjoy all the comments on this site. I'm 83 and love driving around in my 1956 Thunderbird, trying to pick up chicks. (Don't tell my wife)
Had a red diesel VW back in the day . great mpg but poor performance . metal was easily dented and poor paint . glad it was gone . Mav is perfect for me but wish dealers had better service .I’m 71. Picked up my Maverick in June 2022. Always wanted a pickup since i was in my early 20s. even looked into the VW Rabbit pickup back in the day. Then life happened with marriage, kids, etc.
the Mav is my FIRST one And I love it!!
This is the '67 XR-7 GT I had. It was even better to drive than the '68 but I lost my mind and sold it. It now lives in Norway.
I had an XS650 and later a RD350, both were great! You are a wise man to have held on to them.
70 tomorrow, the Maverick fits right in!
