Quick update... my 72 is up and running after receiving her replacement tank (thanks Jason), sending unit, (courtesy of eBay), and carb & choke...
squito - Thanks. Actually located a tank from a 71 from another forum member. Due to arrive any day now. -Charlie
j- Sent you a p.m. Check yr in box.
Got that, but what'll it take to make that tank fit my '72? Is it just a matter of longer straps, as Frank said?
People keep telling me that a 75-77 tank isn't compatible with my 72, so I hesitate to lay out the $150 or so to find out if they're right. Will...
Just thought I'd put this out there... my mechanic and I have been scrounging for an old, rebuilt, or repro gas tank for my rusty 72 Maverick...
I've fueled it once since purchase. And only took it out in the neighborhood. After she stalled out, the fuel filter was clogged w/ rust and crap...
PS - Saw on eBay a new gas tank designed to meet the specs for a 76 Mav. Would that work as is on a 72? If not, could it be modified?
Well the new gas tank we thought we found fell thru. So now I need a tank for a 72 Mav sedan. Philly area. Any thoughts?
Latest update... Located a new gas tank, tho this one won't have a sensor either, so gas gauge will still always read empty. Fingers crossed that...

Pieced together some flatbed scans to present a 2-page spread from the original '72 brochure that came with my Mav 4-door. Among the Maverick's...
Just alot of stuff worn out. Front and rear brakes, distrib cap and wires, sparks, hoses, seals, filters, carb was hanging on by a bolt, solenoid...
That's cool. :D A little long tho. Am leaning toward Rosie if it's a girl (on account of the paint job, and I have an aunt by that name), and...
Right now I don't have a name for the new Mav, tho am considering holding a "name my car" contest among my friends.
Well, after a thorough going over by a pro restorer, my 72 went off to her PA state inspection today...and passed. Still some things left to be...
Anyone know where I can get a sticker that says: "MY OTHER CAR IS A MAVERICK"? Would make me feel alot better about driving my minivan.
Good to see some RR people here as well. Close as I've been to KCS country was Shreveport LA...was in town for a funeral 2 yrs ago. Didn't get a...
