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!!! 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.
Hi Hotrock, picture is posted - in 2 weeks i received the car from the carrier than i could upload some more
Ahh, aus Köln - na nicht soweit weg ( Aschaffenburg ). Pictures if the car is available , carrier told me today planed is the 19th
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
