    Well I'm back and with a new Maverick. 72 with a straight 6. It's super clean and the interior is just about perfect. Right now I think all we will do is a brake over haul, new exhaust and chase down a stock air breather. Having a hard time trying to convince my son to leave it alone for a little bit before we do any major mods...only has 40470 miles on it. So if anyone has a stock breather in 45385 zip....PM me

    Thanks.....the top looks great. So far all we have done is wash and wax it. bled the brakes and pick up the new brake shoes tomorrow. Really leaning towards a light mod on the 6 and drive it. Only thing we don't like is it a 4 lug car...so the future plan is 5 lug conversion

    I had the pleasure of seeing this car in person yesterday and meeting Don and his son. The interior of this car is amazing! All original and in excellent condition. The outside of the car is in pretty good shape too. I wish them all the best with that beauty!
