I've always known what they are but I had never seen one in the flesh. Ford Maverick.

OK, obviously we've run out of both desirable and exotic cars when mid-70's Mavericks start showing up in the thread, especially with cheap wheel covers.
I say that with a smile and warm regard, since I learned to drive and wrench on my dad's 302 V8 '74 Maverick. Still not sure they're desirable to many people, though.
The Ford Maverick came with a "Grabber" package; the Mercury Comet had the "GT" option. They were not fast cars even in the optional 302 V8 ("5.0 liter") guise due to the new power-sapping smog systems, a dinky 2-barrel carb and 3-speed auto trans.

True. I know they aren't very desirable but I don't think it's "uncool" enough to put it in the WTFCOTD thread

My college roommate had one and I was with him once when we spun out in the middle of a busy intersection at night in the rain. He wasn't even trying and we did a 180 in a second and suddenly were facing 3 lanes of oncoming traffic.

Ugggh, my mom had two Mavericks in the 70s and early 80s. Complete junk.

I guess you'd vote to put the Maverick into the WTF-Car thread instead of this one?

When I was a kid making plastic car models I took a pro street chassis and dropped a baby blue Ford Maverick body on it. It looked bad ass!
So I finally saw my first exotic (and what an exotic it was!) on the road in the Nashville area this past Sunday. Crusing through Brentwood a Ferrari 575 pulled up at the light next to us. Of course my phone was off because we were coming home from chuch so I couldn't turn it on fast enough to snap a photo.

So, how much fun are the techs. having with that?
Heard changing just the clutch in that car is a huge process of separating the rear end.

Don't be a pussy rossv1 
I would rather have a F1-inspired V12 sitting behind my head than power windows that add weight.

Is that the one owned by the guy who said that he didn't know the car had so much power?
