    Don't know your story, but I like the paint job! I don't think I have seen one with that kind of paint scheme, really interesting.

    What size are those rear tires, and is it tubbed? They look huge!

    looks awsome save for the big block. Im just not a fan of the 460. But the car is really sweet!

    WHY? Every 460 powered vehical I have rode in/drove ran like a bad outa' hell. Gas mileage sucks, but you shouldn't be expecting gas mileage with a 460 anyways. :)

    Every 460 i ever saw in a street car wouldnt fall out of a tree at more than the speed limit! Nor would thay live if you ran them to death.The last 460 i saw in a mav was on a big nos kit and went two whole tenths faster than my little 347.

    The last 460 I saw in a Maverick was at last years round-up. (I'm pretty sure they told me it was a 460 anyway). It looked awesome...but that was it. My little 302 (not stroked yet) blew him away at the track! I'm sure a few of the other guys beat him too as I definitely didn't have the fastest car there but I didn't do too bad. :) Of course I'm sure he didn't have it set up like yours either. I don't think I'd want to pull up against yours right now. Now when I'm stroked...maybe :rolleyes:
