You've definitely chosen the correct car to be different then - we Maverick owners are certainly "different"
just was sick of seeing foxbodys all over the place at track and being one of them hell X275 should be called "Foxbody 275" just wanted somthing different was going to do a fairmont , but came across this car on racing junk
Mine was going to be a 65 Falcon but I was having no luck locating one that was usable - A guy was then going to sell me the Mercury version of the Fairmont but my Maverick came my way as a free "get it out of my yard" car so that was that
Im having a hard time finding paint combos for the grabber in 1975 ? also never seen this combo in my searching ....its a light gold metallic with dark brown grabber stripes
quarters are stretched a couple of inches as well , got everything with car ...blocks heads , built tranny ect . i have a ton of big block parts from previous race car as well . I have been extremely busy . Im 25 years old and own a house with a little over an acre ...between yard work and redoing a kitchen with cabinets and flooring . i havnt done to much yet on it . I work 10 hour days as a machnist for one of the worlds biggest medical implant companys
Yeah,buying a roller is definately the way to go,however,getting it built w/ all the other internal parts still add up.
Your off to a great start for sure. A lot of guys around here don't like to see Mavericks hacked up but for a drag car you don't have a choice. Keep us posted.
thanks , being all honest i wanted somthing different that was as common at the track my foxbody car i had was great c/m cage ect ..... but was painful seeing just classes full of foxbody cars. i came across this car already at a good starting point and also knowing these cars are relitivley light . as far as cutting up a maverick or a grabber .... these cars to me are along the lines of a chevy corvair . A very unique car that has a certain following of people (not bashing in any way) . There no cobra jet mustang or chevelle ss or 442 as money stand point at auction or collectors stand point . Im a drag racer and wanted a change in looks and this is what i got. Im loving it !
