My hotrod project

Besides ford trucks I also like ford mavericks. I have a 1972 2dr with a 250 C4. I bought it right before I got my liscense and it was a daily driver for about a year. The motor is in sad shape so I parked it and made the 69 F-100 my daily driver. I decided to build my maverick into a street strip car. I pulled a good running roller 302 out of an 86 lincoln. I have bought an edelbrock performer rpm intake and hooker 6901 headers. I still plan on buying a new holley 600 dp and 4.11 gears and spool. I am making this into a grabber clone. I have a good grabber hood, spoiler, highback bucket seats, and a rimblow steering wheel that came on the early 70 model grabbers. I thought some of you might like to see it. Here is an old picture of the maverick

Very Nice. My hubby would be jealeous. He had one of those he totalled years ago and drools whenever we see one at a car show.

Cool dude, my first race car back in 77 was a built 70 maverick with a create boss 302 and 4-speed top loader, ford 9" with 4:56's. It ran the 1/4 mile in 12.90 with the stock boss, I also drove it to high schools every day, girls loved it, a great car.
