    Ok. So I have had my '72 Maverick for about 11 years now. I am a 22 year old college student in Portland, OR and I inherited it from my grandma when she died when I was 11. I was very foolish when I was 16 and after a lot of hard work getting it running again (after sitting for 5 years) I ran it was too hard way to fast and as my dad puts it, "blew the engine up." I am looking for information on how to start the repair on my car. Where to get information on my car, where to look for parts, all of the above. Any help would be much appriciated. Thank you!

    Look no farther as you have found the place to get all your questions answered. This forum is the Holy Grail of Maverick knowledge.

    What is it that you seek? I am close in Tillamook and have a freshly rebuilt 302 and many body parts.
