Hi guys:
The Stallion scheme is growing on me. Having seen a Stallion Maverick at the Ft. Worth show today, and also having seen other renderings, I am finding it appealing. A few questions:
1) Does anyone here own a factory Stallion Pinto?
2) What year did this scheme start? 1976?
3) Can someone tell me what colors were available for this? I know mavericks had red, yellow, silver, and I believe, blue.
4) Would anyone here think a Stallion wagon "clone" would be neat? I know they did NOT make Stallion wagons, but man, I think a silver/black 1976 wagon as a Stallion would be really slick.
Thoughts, comments welcome. I am still in the "strip-down" mode of my restoration, so really anything goes.
