    Hello everyone. My name is Ken and I am from BC Canada. I am usually working on much older cars but a friend of mine stopped by a couple of weeks ago with his car trailer and on the trailer was this cool looking little 76 Maverick. He has owned it for eight years and was going to make a race car out of it and never got around to it. I have a weak spot for anything with a motor(especially 20-60's vintage) so he knew it would be in good hands if he dropped it off here. He said if you don't take it I'm going to haul it to the dump. So not only did I get a free little Maverick I also got the papers for it. So just doin a little research on the car, stumbled on to this site so here I is!
    Heres a couple of pics of the car.

    I'm not sure exactly what rims they are, I will have a closer look see and get back to ya. They do suit the car though.
