    I have a 73 Maverick Grabber that I bought for my girlfriend so we could dump her neon.It Is a 302 auto car that is white/blue with blue interior.I got it for $600 in RoundRock and drove 30 minutes to the shop with a bent valve.Since then I pulled the engine put on a set of 289 heads a comp 268 cam performer intake Holley 600 shorty headers and 2 1/4" exhaust with Flowmasters.The only internal mods are a b&m shifter and external are a set of Cragar S/S wheels.I also own a 72 Comet that I started building as a drag car it has a cage and sub connectors and then I quit working on it.I also own a 70 maverick that is sitting on a friends property.Other cars include 69 TorinoGT,69Ranchero,66F-100,91 Mustang and Hopefully a 57 Custom 300 soon.I work as a mechanic in Austin and am a musician as well.Thats all I got to say about that.
