PotshotPolka Posted April 10, 2008 Content Count: 6084 Joined: 03/31/08 Status: Offline Share Posted April 10, 2008 Several months ago me and my parents (specifically my mother) entered a feud of what vehicle to get. I originally liked the look of a 62' Comet I found, and later found this car from my dad's coworker. She of course vetoed since it has only a lap seat belt and no air bag. So I countered saying fine, I'll get a motorcycle with my own money (not to sound like a bitch but I could afford it.) So here we are and she shows me an email from my dad and she asks do you want it? 1973 Ford Maverick White original paint Original intact (and clean) vinyl seats. 6 cylinder inline, either 200 hp or 256 hp. Automatic. $500. Sold. Link to comment
