    We are the new owners of a 74 Maverick with a 75 comet engine,(302) I don't know much about it but we bought it because our 16 year old daughter wanted something (different) then the other kids at school had.We have a few questions that we help answering. Thanks Mike.:)

    ask away!

    I think between the 1300 members of this board, probably anything you need to know about your Maverick can be found here.
    This boards members are some of the friendliest and most talented people I've ever had the pleasure to talk to.
    You've found the right place and welcome.

    I'm also fairly new to the whole maverick scene myself. I recently bought my maverick (june 2003) and have been fixing it up ever since. I think i can speak for most of the members on this board, Mavericks are fun cars and you get lots of looks in them. I personally allways get comments like "you never see many of these around" the first time i drove my car after it got painted, i parked it at a muffler shop, and 3 people started to circle it. Recently while buying new rims i had a guy talk to me for like half an hour about my car. They're diffinately great things to own.

    Welcome. There are enough of us here, and many not too far away from you, that there's little chance you'll not get the help you need.

    We await your questions.

    Welcome to the board.

    Two things that you should know are:

    1. Do not put air-shocks on your Maverick (if it has them, get rid of them).

    -and-

    2. If your Maverick does not have front disc brakes, get it converted to discs A.S.A.P.


    :cool:

    No, it did not come with them. If it has them, they were added by someone...
