    Hi Fellas,

    Dave here. I don’t own a Maverick, but I do have two Falcons; and the best Falcons use lots of Maverick and Granada parts!

    I’ve come primarily to spam your classifieds looking for Maverick 250 mounts to put a ‘75 Maverick 250 in my ‘62 Falcon; but I’ll undoubtedly be back to pick your brains for tech support on other items.

    Thanks for letting me in. I’ll try not to annoy you too badly.

    -Dave

    If I could have found a 65 Falcon 2 door, I wouldn't have my Maverick :)

    It was junked 27 years ago, and I'm pretty sure it was a 2 door.

    I wonder if, in 2040, anyone will be lamenting on the Internet their inability to find a '92 Tempo to restore.

    Maybe a Topaz coupe? There was a performance version for 1 year only, and I think it was '92.

    I always thought the 60 through 63 Falcons were great looking cars,especially in drag race form.If I had not of come across such a good deal on my Maverick,I really wanted a Falcon to race,they are different and you do not see very many of them at the strip.

    Falcons do make neat race cars. I'm a big fan of the '63s that ran at Monte Carlo and this drag car.
