Maverick by merckx

I saw a light blue Maverick 2 door...one of the late ones with huge bumpers. But what I was struck by was the car had blackwall tires...and black wheels...and dog dishes. It made the car look painfully plain...Almost as if Ford was punishing you for getting the stripper....I thought,"An import company would've painted the wheels silver".
 
I think little things like this opened the door for Honda and Toyota..

Ah man...pictures like that make me sad. Some of those fastbacks and convert's would have been worth saving. On the link, it looks like a blue fastback has the Shelby scoops on the side. Way too far gone, but if its a real Shelby thats too bad.
 
Some people would like to save stray animals, I'd do it with cars! Provided I was independantly wealthy of course.

Yeah, I also saw some with what looked like the Shelby tailights, but they also might have been the 'California Specials', which were just trim jobs on regular Mustangs, not so much of a loss.

I saw a white Maverick yesterday, with a red vinyl top. It actually looked like it was in a really good condition.

The greater Vancouver area has now been uploaded to Google Earth Street View. I was bored and looking around at a few locations I know well, and in the process saw both a Nissan Figaro and an old style Mini just parked or in traffic. I think that counts.

I saw that. I was browsing some locations too with exotic car dealers and such.
 
I'll post up some links and pix when I have time.

I looked at a few spots on Burrard for exotic cars.
 
I should put up some pics of the odd cars I see. I know the 63 Impala that has been languishing in a driveway on my grandmother's street as long as I can remember is featured, too.

OK, as I am a dork with some time to kill, here are some obscure street view cars:
 
Figaro (and I guess the E30 is uncommon too):

 
Mini:

 
Old Nissan wagon:

 
And the Impala:

thanks again Boom for clueing me in on the story.
they should probably just sell tickets to mustang fans to take a tour.
it does look like the maroon convertible still has the monroney sticker on the window.
i read through the comments where the story was posted and someone posted that since there were a number of shelby's, the vin tags could be harvested.
i am guessing someone will buy the lot, grab the valuable pieces and leave the rest behind.

Are these Vancouver or Seattle? The street names are not familiar.
