    Hey everyone. Arkansas Maverick fan here. My dad and I just bought our first Maverick together. We are pretty new to the restoring process.

    We bought a 72 Maverick with a 250 ci and automatic trans on the column bucket seats, venal interior and top.

    Car runs but needs serious overhaul on the entire car. More busy than we originally thought. We did however find a 74 rolling chassis that were picking up with no rust to use for body parts or possibly to do a motor swap.

    I'm probably going to be asking an assortment of dumb questions so please be patient with me!

    Thanks for reading. First dumb question coming very soon!

    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada! No such thing as a dumb question around here. There is such thing however, as a question someone has already asked. You can find those via the Search function at the top of your screen. Post pics and or start a Project Thread once you get going!

    Here she is laying where we found her. The coolest thing is that every piece that came with the car originally is still on it. Completely unmolested. Other than being rusty and being hit by one deer...it's in decent shape.
