Talk about a car that doesn’t get much respect! The 1978 Ford Fairmont replaced it in our market. The Maverick was offered in the US until the end of the 1977 model year but they were produced in Brazil until 1979. The 1970 Maverick Grabber didn’t have the twin-snorkel hood like the 19 models had and this beauty benefits, at least visually, from having small bumpers. The Falcon wheelbase was shortened almost 8-inches for the Maverick and they were introduced in early-1969 as a 1970 model. I know that a lot of Barn Finds readers are fans of the original Falcon which was used as a platform for both the Mustang and Maverick but they don’t seem to get the press or the public love as much as the Maverick and Mustang both get for some reason.

For the record, Hagerty’s #1 Concours, absolutely flawless condition value is $12,100.
