    Hi Guys,
    a friendly hello from Germany, i own since a week my first american car - an Ford Maverick Coupe from 1972 with an 302 ci V8 and and 3 speed automatik transmission. To bring the Mav back on Germany´s street´s, is the challenge for the next time. Sorry for my english - thats only the skills from my school time, decades ago.

    Welcome! This is a good place for information and help with your Maverick. There are people around here that know everything there is to know about these cars. I hope you enjoy your new car!

    Welcome to the site from northeast Ohio!!! :tiphat:

    You might want to consider posting your ride in the Garage section. Just post with a lot of pictures and not a lot of words.

    So first check is done and it looks now that there´s a little bit more work. There´s some rust on the back side of the roof, two holes in the buttom, both doors shows rust on the buttom and the outside panels and the a-pillars shows rust. Engine runs but stop´s after a few seconds ( maybe dirt in the gas pipes or in the carb ) Brakes works, Instruments are working.
    But it looks that all gaskets are not flexible anymore there´s a lot of oil under te car and the window gaskets are also gone away. When everithing runs smooth i start the dissasemble the Mav end of August and i cross fingers that there´not more suprise. Did someone know if a company produces new windshields ? My shows an white fog inside beginnig on the drivers side so i like to replace them.

    na dann mach dich auf was gefasst ;)
    www.72comet.de - das hat mich dann erwartet.
    windschutzscheibe hatte ich von http://veterania.se/, ich schau mal ob ich den deutschen importeur finde. da würde ich aber überlegen, die aktuelle zu verbauen und dann auf einen steinschlag zu warten, wenn er zugelassen ist ;)

    Tja mal schauen was noch kommt, so einige Stellen kommen mir auch bekannt vor. Rep. Bleche sind wohl nicht mehr zu bekommen - Wie hast du das denn mit den orangenen Blinkern gelöst ? Die Rückleuchten sind ja doch recht klein. Mal schauen was noch für Überraschungen kommen
