Can you imagine the stamping process for the metal on that Ute? That quarter panel is quite a punch ..... that’s for sharing

Nope. I had a 1976 Maverick Sedan of all things with an orange interior. I thought it was great at the time. I wonder what ever happened to that car.

Some guy in Nebraska has it and he restored it to its full glorified self and has it on BAT for 45,000 bucks.

Those cars were middle of the road then but time has shown them to be about right for most of the intended buyers. Lots of space, light on the wallet. Ran good with a 429 in them.

I've owned 3 (4 if you count the wrecked Army staff car I bought just for the drivetrain) the first was a white 72 coupe 6cyl, next was a 74 4 door with that ugly green interior and the last was bought for my wife, that was a 76 6 cyl 4 dr two tone sky blue and dark metallic blue with black and blue interior, it was loaded but had the three on the tree. Had the best A/C of any pre 80's car I ever owned.

I owned one for a few days in 95. It was a 73 2 door 302 with 70k miles. Sat in a garage since 1981. Bought it as a junk for $20. A little fresh gas in the carb and a battery and it fired right up. Sold it as a project car for $500.

As a MAVERICK owner myself, I am curious if folks have owned a Maverick in the past or still own one currently?

Not my first; back in the day had a yellow 4 door Mav w/ a 200CID V6; and it only took 7 wks to order it!!

I also Had this little Pinto Pickup that was made out of a 75 Mercury Bobcat wagon. Was professionally done by a body shop in Rockford IL. Called the pony express. It was a lot like both generations of Maverick, being small and a pickup. A true one of a kind. Had a 2.3 and a 4 speed. No power options, even manual brakes. It had widened factory rally wheels in back.

Which state do you think will be the first state for the very first retail delivery of a new Ford Maverick?
This could be interesting since the trucks will be coming up from Mexico.......

Texas

When I meet my wife, she had a 1971 basic Maverick. 2 door, 6 cyl, 3 on the tree standard trans, am radio, and a heater! She drove stick shift. We replaced the maverick with a 1977 Honda Accord, and always standard transmission cars, and trucks. Now the only car we have with a standard stick shift with O/D is our 1956 Thunderbird. My last 3 trucks were stick, but my Maverick has a ECVT, and she has a MDX. Over the years, I've owned many sports cars, all standard.

I had a '71. Puke green and rust with a white top. 200 inline 6 AT. Slammed on the brakes one day to avoid an accident and put my heel right through the floor. Owned it for 6 months until the frame rusted through. MN winter salty road victim. When the temps dropped near -10 degrees (f) the horn would sound off until the battery died. I'm hoping the truck fares better!

WOW! I though I had the only one with the horn going off in the middle of the night. I met my wife in 1972, and when we got married she moved to New Jersey with her 1971 Maverick. I remember having to go out in the night to disconnect the horn to stop it from blowing. I forgot all about that, I'll remind her and see if she recalls how many times I did that!

Is that how it looks today? If so, well done!
