    Maverick 'Berta' Hollywood

    A masterpiece made for Argentine Orestes Berta under order of the Hollywood, that had a super team that it competed in some categories.
    The car has 750kg, 500hp, tires slicks of F1 of the decade of 70.
    Moreover the engine was retreating, a little for low e for tras of the car, to improve the gravity center.

    The engine had heads Gurney Westlake or as they were known by Gurney Eagle, these heads were incredible and the best one was the feeding that was for 4 Webber 48.

    It was a fantastic car, also was in the plans of Jose Carlos Pace to participate of Le Mans with the Berta Hollywood, but it died before this.

    Result: the car was practically invincible!
    It finished being banished, for being an absurdly superior car to the excessively competing ones.
    This was one of the cars of bigger expression in Brazilian motoring in the decade of 70.

    Hi! Vitor, I was wondering if you have any information on the Spoiler & Fender Flares on this Maverick? Is there a Company that makes this or was this custom made by body shop? Any Information you can give would be helpful. Thanks, Rob:ratrod:

    ''Interlagos 500km.
    This time, the Ford Maverick reached 42 kilometers in front of the opponent.''
