The ol Maverick is solid as a rock! Even the floors/vents, trunk had good paint on all the surfaces. Recently, the car was sold,, they never paid for it, so I bought it back. so I went to work on it with a rednecks wage. only 70K miles on the clock,, tht was on the 6 cyl, the V8 swap less than 125 miles,, had problems but seemed to get them smoothed out as we go along, and with help from some of the best on this site! Gonna do alot of country road driving,, some limited highway use,, maybe to town occasionally. Thanks again for some insight!! 62-64 falcons had the early suspension, but from 65 and up, were all bout the same werent they?? probably, the exact same suspesion,, just set differently from car to car??
