I guess I should do a intro as I have been on this board and a member of MCCI for a short while.I'm RON PERRIER from Ontario CANADA. I have 2 cars. One is a 73 --4door 302-C4(PARTS) and a 77 Comet that turns out isn't fixable. Plus Ive had 3 other parts cars that I have stripped. Have been collecting parts for 2 years now and looking for a solid car body wise to restorod. Have a 88 stang 302-5spd to drop in a Mav plus goin to put alum heads, 303 cam, good intake or EFI (undecided about EFI) Will put 380 gears/posi when I get them. C4 with convertor and shift kit At least thats my plans. C-YA
Welcome Ron, I think you will enjoy the 'experience'. Lots of good folks, good cars, and good information.
HI! I was brought into the fold of mav. fans at the tender age of four. That was the year my sister puchased a new 72 grabber. This car was the same paint/decal color combo as the 72 presently on ebay. Sadly she grew ill and passed away nov. 2000. One of her few regrets was allowing her husband to talk her into trading it in for a 76 4banger vega.(bad case of blu oval envy after she whupped his dodge demon when they were dating)She really loved her mav! I am seeking a 71-72 grabber to restore to her mavericks appearance inside & out... but with a twisted wedge 347 stroke motor ooh yeah 450+HP should make a great rolling monument Ive aquired a 74 grabber I am preparing to strip for parts and am looking forward to the camaroderie and tips-info sharing the forum promises peaceout and keep the faith bros and sisters.

Hello, I am new here also. Kinda a lurker for a few months, finally decided to register. I got a 1974 Ford Maverick right now. Hopefully itll be a nice piece later on. Just figured I would say my hellos
Two big welcome aboards. Glad you both found this site. There's a great bunch of folks here and many ears to listen to any questions you may have. Enjoy!
wow new people more and more each month.. thats a good out look on mavericks! welcome to you all! and i'm sorry you have to own one...lol
Wow, we keep growing. This is too cool. At this rate we should pass those Mustang guys in about..............a millennium or two.
the hellos just wanted to say thanks to all for the well wishes.I have been having a laugh at some of you and your remarks.I think this club is great. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people here that walk around with there nose in the air like Ive seen at other car clubs. thats one thing that attracted me here cause I stayed as a guest for a long time to feel things out. you will also see that Im long winded. better say goodbye before I wear out my welcome. C-YA RON.
