I have a 1970 ford maverick early build that i owned since 2003. It was originally a 6 cyl automatic that i bought for $300 from a repo auction. After i got it home, i decided that the original engine had to go along with all of the driveline. I replaced the engine with a 351c and a 4 speed manual trans and all of the driveline from a 1974 maverick 4 door v8 donor i bought for $150. After all that work i took the car to georgia where my brother was living at the time for him to the bodywork and repair, but during the time he had the car, things happened and it sat for over 10 years. I finally got it back a few months ago when my brother decided to move back to tennessee. It's a little rough from where it has been sitting under a tree so it would be out of sight of possible thieves but the car looks the same as when i took to him. Hopefully i will have the time to fix it and get it running again and build it the way i want it.
