    Yup, air ride and a healthy 5.0 with a nice lope. It has early Stang seats in it and that's the one thing I'd change besides adding a spoiler.

    Drove it, like every other day. Getting ready to leave now for a 300 mile trip up to NC. Will be back tomorrow, just a quick hop and skip up the road and back for this car.

    They aren't bad but you are right, they would go away if it was mine.

    Waxed the entire car, but it didn`t really need it, I just like the smell of the wax.

    I'd like to drive up there to see how you have that rear sub-frame welded in your car and also witness a blower motored maverick!

    Drove it too work for spring cleaning. Finally got it out of storage on Sat. Good old car runs and drives beauty.
    Both of our co-op students have never seen a Maverick before. No idea what this strange little car is. The one kid thinks he has heard of them before. LOL.
