    Im Always Looking On Ebay Or Craigslist for Mavericks
    And Came Across This on ebay today

    YOU DON'T SEE THESE EVERYDAY. 1974 Grabber Maverick with a Holman Moody NOS 427 SOHC, this is an original Ford Hemi, not reproduction pieces. This is not an easy swap and has been done professionally. Narrowed 9" 31X18.50 Tires. Rack and pinion. Toploader 4-speed. Runs and drives like a stock maverick, ultimate street sleeper. Tuck and Rolled interior top to bottom. Rust free CA car.

    Now THAT's cool!! So different to see a full interior in an otherwise full-out race car. Interesting car, for sure.

    More than 4 pics would have been nice to see, especially for that kind of money.

    50k and it doesn't even have a small bumper swap! The engine in it is probably worth close to the starting bid though.

    The guy had to be a fan of Dyno Don! He and Earl Wade built the first SOHC Maverick in about a week and it was surprisingly not all that different from this car.

    The old Pro Stocks had the towers shaved way back towards the fenders and the front coil springs stood straight up to get those engines to fit but this one looks like a Mustang II conversion because the entire towers are gone :)

    They want fifty grand, and they only have four pictures? Plus, it can't be a NOS engine, it's in a car.....or do they mean it has nitrous?

    They should knock off $45,000 for that hideous interior.

    Holman & Moody was a distributor for Ford back in the day. I think they are suggesting this cammer was an NOS crate engine of sorts.
