    Many of his inaccuracies are common knowledge, one being where he states 1973 is when they introduced the 302 and the Grabber hood as the Grabber package. It is well known that the Grabber hood was available in 71 and 72 only and the 302 came out in the Maverick in 71. He also stated it received a "louder exhaust", they all came with the same anemic, single exhaust that was whisper quiet. It starts at 8:10 if you want to check me on it. His claim that the Maverick has 220 HP is BS as well, try 140 HP for 73 and in no way would a stock V8 Maverick come close to running with a stock 5.0 let alone the HO.

    it is a nice video and he is very enthusiastic in his love of mavericks. it is entertainment. He should have brought it hear for a proof read as there is SO much Maverick/Comet knowledge and experience here. Next time ....Power On Jay

    Yeah I when I first saw it I commented about a lot of the inaccuracies and was surprised that the comments were shut off.

    The Censorship of truth seems to be pretty common these days. Who would expect to see that regarding Mavericks though?
