    Hi, my name is Dave and I come from Worthing in the UK. I have just purchased my first Maverick which at this time is still on your side of the pond!
    I have had quite afew american cars to date and also run the Sussex area for the AACI.
    My car is a 1970 2dr sedan in white with a 200 six with 3 on the floor.(y)
    When she arrives in the UK I will put up some pics.
    At present I own 2 72 Gran Torinos.
    Hope to talk to you all later but good bye for now.

    Hi all,
    Frank I may put in a 351 which is in one of my Gran Torinos at the moment, but I will see how it performs first as I may use it as a daily driver.
    Yes Craig that is the one, looks very sound in the pics also quite original except for the paint. He said it has a 200 but does decode as a 170 but will have to see when it turns up, how do you tell the difference? I think someone was going to make a sprint clone? What did you think of it, and $2000 was not a bad price?
