Been working on a 61 Falcon for a couple years now and came across this 76 Maverick four door and it was to cheap and neat not to have. Runs but needs some TLC, just want to get it to be a reliable driver again. It's a 250, auto, a/c, power steering. Body is good a few minor rust spots. Question thou on the smog stuff, should I gut it or keep it?
take it off and list it on craigslist in a smog state like califonia theres people that have to have it and cant find it because everyone just throws it awway
Need to fix the battery tray then will get to gutting it, great tip on putting the smog stuff for sale, never heard of a junk yard not selling you something like that
Been doing some maintenance & repairs to it, got the battery tray and inner fender repaired, used a heavier thickness gauge metal where the battery tray sits, installed new fuel pump old one was leaking and stripped out all the old carpet and backing, it was pretty nasty, floors are in pretty good shape thou, got a couple bad spots that will need to be cut out and patched
Not sure why I'm having trouble posting the pictures in the correct direction, thinking about using the darker green carpet in a 80/20 loop instead of the jade green push that was stock
Nice car! My car also has the 250. I gutted my smog pump, and removed the A/C. Now there's oodles of room under the hood.
