    I never have good ideas like this. You are right, lots of mavs for sale. The limited Spanish I remember actually lets me translate most of the portuguese. Wonder how much it would cost to import a car from Sao Paulo?

    Just by looking at the ads and the cars it appears the Maverick was marketed as more of a muscle sports car in Brazil compared to an econobox in the US ...

    Did you check out some of the steering wheels and center consoles they have. Looks like they take their Mavericking very serious in Brazil. Some cool cars down there.:cool:

    Boy, that's really impressive. This is a hell of a lot different from our ebay, where you can only find big bumper junkers in Nebraska or something :). Take a look at how nice some of those are. Check out this spoiler the guy did on this one, looks good:

    cycle through the pictures with the little arrow and you can see it.

    Wow!!! That is SOO cool!!!

    They must have some level of difficulty getting american parts down there, as a performer RPM cam and lifters was going for over $1000 (~$300 USD). Maybe we should strike up some trade deals ;)

    Brazilian tail lights

    I like those Brazilian tail lights too. In fact Paul in Brazil is looking for a clean set for me. They actaully look a little larger than the U.S. light, but that may simply be due to the absence of the metal trim ring. I'm assuming these will still fit in my stock tail light holes. If not I probably won't buy them. I can't stand the thought of cutting my car. Anybody know for sure if they'll fit? Please let me know before I waste any more cash on parts I can't use.
