Yeaaa Baaby! I never owned anything with that, but almost did it once to a baby-blue Falcon Wagon I owned in high school. I wanted to shag up the backend and add some stenciling to the windows. My Father vetoed the idea (he paid the insurance on it).

Dang it, you knew I was going to look....here's one in my neck of the woods, pretty much original (except maybe that paint) and $9,800 negotiable! (EDIT: Turns out it was available in that color. I don't think I've ever seen another yellow one)

My dad worked at the Ford plant that made the Mavericks. When they started production in 69 they had a big open house for all the families. All the kids got grab bags of stuff which included a plastic model of a Maverick. There were two colours which included that one (without the white of course) and an orange one. My yellow (tan?) one fell victim to a BB gun attack later that year but I still have one of my sister's orange ones packed away in a box someplace.

He must have been busy based on the number built (although I know they built them in multiple factories around the world...

Haha oops, but hey, at least it's half as much as the ones I like and actually close to you. Anything I'd buy would need to be shipped.

Also, it looks like the orange one with the spoiler you posted yesterday was sold at some point. That was the one I liked too.

He worked in the waste treatment plant not on the plant floor. Pretty sure he drank beer and slept far more than he actually worked.

Easiest way (at least for me) is to resize them to 800x600 then upload them using the paperclip upload into a message. If you have them on a different site somewhere you don't have to resize them, just use the "Insert Image" link in advanced edit.

How do you resize them?

Pretty much any photo editing software will do it. I usually just use Microsoft Paint in Windows. Of course, I rarely do more than one or two at a time.

I like paint.net. Free and enhanced version of ms paint.
