Only 1970 Mavs had the drop in tank...where the top of the tank WAS the trunk floor. All other Mavs and Comets had the tank under the car.

: Does the Maverick have the same gas tank safety issues as the Ford Pinto, or was the design different?

what is the distance(gas tank - rear) in a pinto? 74merc (IP: 207.157.60.21) 7/27/00 (0)
