    Hi my name is Mike and I have been working on my Maverick since I was 9 years old. Dad figured if I did the work he didn't have to. Being youngest I got the car last. Then the fun began. It started as a 200 three speed on the tree car. Now it is a 307 (302 0.030 over) with a T-5. Thanks to a mini truck it was wrecked once. So I think that the body, left front fender and back seat are original. After a few years hiatus I have now started to work on it in earnest. If you plan on being near Lake Tahoe maybe we can get together. Mav 3.jpg

    Welcome from Northern California!:chirp:
    We have a car show every year and it's about an hour away from S. Lake Tahoe. Hopefully you can make it this year.
