What are the weak points of the Maverick, so if i see a car i know what to look for. I read about rust at the passenger side, stuffs like that. Thanks already for all your help.
There will always be the one shop where they have expert people working on our cars. Here in the USA you pay premium for the service and in Mexico most anybody at a shop will think that you are no good bussiness if you drive an older car which is sinonimus of lack of Pesos but if you ask arround, you will find that there are plenty of older car "mecanicos" that can work on your Maverick. The advent of high tech on cars is relatively new and the are a lot of people that work on carburated vehicles.
Lets not forget the fact that the Brazillian Mavs got 4 Speed Std trannies in GT trim and had glove boxes in the dash...
As far as models; Maverick standard ('70-77) Maverick Grabber ('70-75) Maverick Sprint ('72) Maverick Stallion ('76) Maverick LDO ('72-77) I think those years are correct. Also; v8s from '71-up only disc brakes optional on '74-75, standard on '76-77 and beware of the BS; no factory 9" rears no factory 4speeds (except Brazil) no factory 4 barrel carbs
I found this picture in the gallery, its exactly the same car that the grandpa of my wife had in the seventies, only the wheels are different i guess.
