    "i might be stupid "
    If the shoe fits, and it definitely will if you pass on that Mav.
    I could see it as a nice daily driver

    Derrick, if you don't get that car, you're something that rhymes with "crumb grass"

    It's probably a '74, because disc brakes were standard in '75....

    If you don't buy it, you will have to change your handle from Maverick Man to something flattering like Indecisive Waffle Man.

    okies looks like i'm gonna get it... i don't want to be called the following:

    1. idiot
    2. Indecisive Waffle Man
    3. something that rhymes with "crumb grass"
    4. "i might be stupid " If the shoe fits...
    5. something wrong with you
    6. stupid

    i think that helped me decide! lol... nah i had sometime to think about it so... i'm gonna pick this thing up sat.

    but anyone out there got info on these 75's.. i haven't seen much on these.. besides i don't know much about these "75s" remember i get these things and tear them apart and whats stock? the hell.. this car is missing 2 cyls...lol

    but general info on 75's like 6cyls info, tranny, radiator core, things that are differant then early mavericks pre 74, electrical stuff etc. that would be helpful on what i'm getting myself into.

    thanks

    Derrick...Imagine this...3 sets of 2 fuel injected Weber carbs sitting on three intake manifolds with a ported and polished aluminium head and bored 30 over block, a set of headers with three exhaust pipes each running to 2" exhaust, 50 series Flows and 3" tips...SWEEEET and definitely DIFFERENT;)

    just revisting some posts here.. just thought i'd let you know... the car was 4 wheel drum... but it did have a disk brake master in it which i thought was a bit werid. i thought it could be a left over 74.. but nope it was build in 75. i guess nothing ever can be standard if the maufacture can't make up there mind :D

    just a bit more maverick trivia ;)
