    No clue what "flavor" of orange it is. I like it though.

    Should look pretty similar except minus all the stallion decals and out-of-place badging. I am considering a Mach 1 rear spoiler as the mav's I've seen with them look pretty sharp.

    EDIT: the color is "Thanks Vermillion!". :)

    Spoke with one of the previous owners on the phone and got the following information:

    302 is out of a 1988 Mustang GT, bored .030" over, w/ a 480 lift cam. Flowmaster exhaust.
    Repainted Vermillion orange ("Thanks Vermillion"), but I knew that due to my current repainting.
    The small bumpers were re-chromed, the grabber hood was rust free when he bought it (there is a small rust spot on it now that I am having repaired).

    I am actually half thinking about selling the Maverick. Something else has caught my eye and I am going back and forth as to whether I will pursue it (both is not an option due to garage space). :)

    I have side pipes on order for the Maverick. Will post additional pics once those are installed.
