    Hi to all. Not new to old cars, including Fords, but just bought my first Maverick. It's a 76 4door 302 AT with AC,PS, non power front discbrakes,and "dog dish"hub caps. It is the proverbial 'little old lady" story, came from the estate of the original owner, who purchased new at age 70, and drove [Church and grocery store} until passing away recently at age 98. Has very low mileage, and as such has some of the good and bad points of the same. Seems like an odd option combo for an elderly lady, [302, non-power discs}, so I suspect she bought it of the lot rather than ordering it. Thanks to all who have already helped with questions.

    50k. About 10 miles or less, and 35mph 0r less at a time. Guess thats why the non-power discs were not a concern for her.
