Hi I just recently acquired a 1974 Ford Maverick from a family member. It currently is not running but hopefully will be soon. I am looking for parts such as grabber hood, spoiler or truck and quarter extensions. I am also looking for small bumpers. I am currently vacationing in upstate New York but I am from South Carolina. I was wondering if anyone knew of any locations in New York for parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a young so cars are new to me and I would like to learn as much as I can. Thank you for your time.
Welcome to our Maverick world here on the www. Get it running/driving/stopping FIRST.....then worry about the rest.
Thank you. Yeah my plan is to get it running before summer. I soon will be getting a used 302 to put in it. It used to be a 6cylinfer but was swapped to a 302 at some point. Unfortunately the engine currently in it blew a piston at some point. But on the good side the used engine won't cost me anything. I plan on rewiring the car due to mice getting into the wiring.
from Atlantic Canada! Like Craig said, get it running safely first, then worry about looks! How is the cowl and the floor pans, rust-wise? New reproduction steel Grabber hoods are now available from Dynacorn, through Melvin's Classic Ford Parts: http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/new-reproduction-grabber-hood.106292/ http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb...~S4JC0K5PJ070361323750d~Z5Z5Z5~Z5Z5Z50001018o
The car is mostly solid except for where the battery tray was and the floor pans. I have read that you have to use mustang floor pans but I would like to get good floor pans.
Welcome! Be aware 302/5.0 crank balance changed in 1982, flywheel/flexplate must match era of engine...
