    Ok. so i am at the usual hang out 11 o'clock at the sonic with all my friends, granit i am 17. a guy walks up and says he is looking for a maverick and he is eyeballing mine. i ask how much and he changed the subject (i would never sell my Mav). He asks if i have a 460. i laughed and said they biggest motor in a mav was a 302, he said BS and popped the hood of my car with out asking.:yikes: i was pretty ticked at this point, so i walked over and shut my hood, so we started talking about these motors. apparently mavericks came with V-6, 351w and c, 390, 460. i just walked away. i would never sell my maverick to a nuckle head like that, he would probably slap a coffe can on my dual exhaust if i sold it to him.

    You could have probably told him yours WAS a 460 and the idiot wouldn't have known the difference.
