    Yep, my neighbors are going to love me # 6 will arrive this week. It will be a parts car most likley. I has been hit in the rear and the floor is rotten in the front(both sides and the rear too) . it has a 302 with buckets and a rebuilt C4 and a aluminum intake and 600 carb, and a low gear rear end. Paying 700 for it, which isn't bad for all the parts. Oh and it has a grabber hood:clap: .

    Now i just got to get on the garage extension so I can start getting one together.

    I was a little "iffy" on that price .... until you said GRABBER HOOD !! :clap:


    Good job.
    If the neighbor complains, hand him a beer and a wrench. That will usually do it :rolleyes:

    Maverick #6 Is now home

    :dance: My yard is looking like a maverick grave yard. here is a list of what $700
    got me. as you can see it got tapped by a ford F350. It looks to be repairable.
    Cant read the door sticker, it is there but been hit with sand paper. I have my eye on another one if I can catch her. It is a teenage girl driving to the local high school. looks to be grandpaws and garage kept. it is either a 69.5 or 70.
    Now the hard choice. which to gut and which to save.
    Robert

    302 with mild cam
    Edelbrock aluminum intake and a 600cfm carb
    flowmaster mufflers on stock exaust
    Grabber hood
    Buckets
    rebuilt C4 with shift kit
    Front Disc brakes
    Low gear rear....unknown ratio but said 100mph was all he could get out of it

    You wouldn’t happen to have a spare defrost duct for a non ac 73 would you?
