 <br />
So lets see who is up to what.  Who needs help or parts?  Who is going racing or to a show?  Is Tony&#039;s car running?]]></content:encoded>

Just a mill and a lathe. I want to get some ideas now so I can mentally prepare. <br />
What&#039;s not on the market? What is in demand and HARD to find? I really want to support the classic cars but I need to start small.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;m trying to insure a classic truck I just bought, but this question applies to my Maverick as well. I can&#039;t find a classic insurance company that will insure them without being in storage. I live in an apartment. Hagerty says it has to be in storage. I&#039;ll have to have 1 of them in storage anyway but I hope they don&#039;t actually mean a garage. Other than that, State Farm wants around $80 for my truck, and the maverick isn&#039;t in use still. That&#039;s a lot.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Nice to find these forums.  I got a 1975 Maverick 4 door with the 200 inline six engine.  I&#039;ve been driving it for about a year now, bought it with only 13k miles, and we are closing on 21k.  Love the car, but it was as bare bones as could be as a barn find.  So the few things I have done was put in an aftermarket underdash AC unit, which required replacing the radiator and moving to an electric fan.  Put in a stereo since it didn&#039;t have anything from the factory, and a few little things...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Some of you might think me a bit nuts, but this clean &#039;75 Granada came up for sale just two counties away from me. V8 car with low mileage and seemingly nice all throughout and a driver currently. The guy is considering trading me for my Mustang. I thought it a nice companion to the Mav especially since the color scheme is nearly identical and the same year. He&#039;s deciding if he wants to pursue the trade or sell it outright. We&#039;ll see.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey guys,<br />
<br />
I read an article recently posted to Ford Performance talking about the Maverick on it&#039;s 50th birthday.<br />
<br />
In this article, the author talks about the original concept design for the Maverick, and said that the concept was originally sketched by code named &quot;The Delta&quot; by Virgil M. Exner, Jr, but I can&#039;t find any more information on this. If I&#039;m reading the article correctly, this might have been around 1967 or so?<br />
<br />
I know that Ford use the call the Maverick the &quot;Falcon Maverick&quot;...<br />
