    I just picked up this '73 Maverick last weekend. 302, C4 automatic with 3.73's and a true-trac out back. A little bit of rust here and there but nothing major and it is going to be a street/strip car for me so it doesn't have to be pretty. Looks like it was converted to an earlier bumper set-up and the previous owner put heavier spring in the front and rear with pretty beefy sway bars.

    It seems that it will be a great foundation and won't need much (though that doesn't mean I won't be tinkering with it...a lot :yup:). I've had it for 5 days and I already have put new carpet and seats in it.

    One thing I am looking for right off the bat, is a heater-only heater box. I have two with A/C but I will not be putting A/C back on the car and would like to have the smaller box on it. If anyone has one and would be interested in trading for an A/C box, I am on the hunt!

    Welcome from the east side! I have a heater setup if you venture out to the Spokane area.

    Welcome from Portland, OR..... one door south! I saw that car on CL and thought it was a good deal. Glad to see someone get it who has a plan and enthusiasm.

    Where in Arizona? I was in Phoenix and Tuscon for about 10 years through high school and college.
