    Well i got the 4 door i was looking at. and all i can say is SWEEEEEET!. the guys put new gas shocks on it and some nice big back tires. And i had no idea that the 302 would back such a punch! it has manual steering manual brakes. it runs perfect. i cant wait to beef up this engine and make it nicer..the only thing i dont like is the seat balt light..funny story about that. i was driving along and i had my dog in the other seat. well it kept coming on and making that noise and i couldnt figure out why. so i tried slaming the brakes and punching it on the gas every once in a while it would stop. i was completly stumped. well the next day i found out that if there is any weight on the seat and the belt is not out then the alarm goes off. so the reason that it stoped in such a random order was becaus my dog was falling off the seat onto the floor! lol :D poor doggy. well anyways i will be up in washington getting a mav thanx to ray. so i will talk to you guys later and i will post some pics of my new 4 door too

    Maybe what he means is that it has smaller bumpers than the 76 he had before??? To the 70-72 Mav owners they would be the medium sized bumpers.:)
