    Hi everybody! I am new to the forum and hope to find a lot of good information here. I am a long time Ford guy, but this is my first Maverick. I have had it for a year now and am finally getting to wrench on it. I traded a 1969 Ford Torino GT Fastback for it. The Torino would have needed a full restoration including a new engine and transmission. The Maverick needs a little bit of work, but is basically a drivable vehicle. It is a 1972 and has a 306 with a mild cam, Edelbrock carb & intake, aluminum radiator, B&M Z-Gate shifter, dual exhaust, racing bucket seats and had a fairly decent backyard paint job not too long before I got it. I don't have any pictures yet, but when I do I will post some. Glad to be here!

    Now that my "honey do's" are done I can spend more time on the Maverick. I can't wait to just go across the street from my house and do some burnouts.:clap:
