    I am the owner of a 1976 Maverick. The car was a barn find in Flemingsburg, Ky. Originally white with a six cylinder and a rust hole the size of a nickle in the drivers side rear quarter. floor pans perfect, trunk floor perfect. One of the most solid little mavericks id run across. Doors shut solid like a new car. some slight pitting on top of front and rear bumpers. Since purchasing I have replaced six banger with 306, and a built c4 with a hurst shifter, new headers, exhaust, flowmasters, weld wheels, new tach, gauges, a little cam 541 lift, aluminum intake, Holley 650, and a 411 rear gear sanded primed, blocked, and primed again. Just trying to decide on a paint color at this time. Also if anyone knows where i can get a grabber rear spoiler I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for letting me join your forum, and I hope to get to know you all in the future. any advise, tech tips, very welcome as this is my first maverick!

    Welcome to the board. Best advice I can give you is to go to the thread on the MCG Gathering (2012 MCG Gathering itinerary)in July in Somerset, KY. Lots of Mavericks and Comets there. :)
