Not worked up at all, just pointing out , " there's more than one way to skin a cat" did you read my last sentence? 'Nough said.
I have been in the industry for over 25 years, many years in the racing industry. I really don't need a tutorial on aerodynamcs, thanks. I don't want that to sound arrogent, but it probably will. BTW, officvially, your mav is a brick, just like mine!
Max , you take me all wrong you definately are very informed, wasn't trying to do a tutoral on areodynamics, sorry it came out that way
No, it's all cool. Every time I think of ground effects, I think of ricers. Our cars are bricks. I like em that way!
I have noticed that more and more people are starting to recognize, or at the very least remember the Mavericks and Comets more now than they did a few years ago. When we first started showing our Maverick in 1998, very few people even knew what it was. Now seven years later it seems the tide has shifted. Not only do more people know what it is, but they ask alot more questions with an interest in finding one of thier own to restore. It appears that people are finally getting tired of the same old Mustangs and thier over inflated parts prices and are now looking for something different and more affordable to play with. Just the other day I was talking to one of the delivery drivers who works at our local Car Quest store. I had taken our Stallion out for a spin and stopped in to pick up some molding clips. The guy instantly recognized the Stallion as being a Maverick and started to tell me about the blue and black one he bought new in 1976. He started to tell me it was a four speed with the 302 and that he would love to find another one to restore when he got called out on a parts run. We never did finish that discussion. A few minutes later at the gas station, a completely different person pratically told me the same story, only in this case it was a 72' Maverick. He said something that stuck in my mind. He said he wanted another Maverick because he loved the lines on the car and it wasn't a Mustang. I don't ever remember hearing anything even close to that 7 years ago. With more interest in the cars, there will be more demand for parts and parts prices will rise. Now if only we can get the salvage yards to understand that and stop destroying whats left.
I ain't nothin to envy, and the only real resource I got is alot of space to put these things. Gotta be in the right place at the right time with the right person to get ahold of these cars for basically nothing. Done figgured that one out. As far as the Boss Mustang's in the early 80's go, my grandpa got his Boss 429 for $10,000 in 1981, and his boss 302 for even less.
