    Blink71 just purchased a 70 Maverick and we’re looking for information/history on it.
    What we know, car was daily driven in California 70-73 and then was turned into a drag car still carries a Cali title from 77.

    J Bittle of JBA might be a good place to start. They've been racing fords in San Diego since the early 80s.

    Good luck- I'm soooo jealous
