    Im currently 16, I just bought a maverick today and paid $800 cash, I was surprised at the very clean body and engine for what I paid for, I originally wanted a 69 mustang but not possible but maybe soon, I bought this 74 maverick sedan, I find the 4 door looks more muscle then the 2 door, it has a modified 302 in it, it's a retired dragster, it has a clean title and clean body, has a magnaflow exhaust on it, the 302 is extremely loud when you wake it up, I can see why it was parked for a while, but it had a flat on the driver tire and no plates so gladly the owner had aaa and had it delivered to my house on a flatbed, I love the car so far
