    Had an FMX given to me so I tore it apart. Pretty tough trans but the corrosion between the iron and aluminum was really bad. Wonder what the reasoning was for that tank of a trans???

    That would really burn the arses of some of the high and mighty Mustang owners to see that shaker scoop setup on a Maverick. As hard as those originals are to find and to see one put on a pheasant car like a Maverick. LOL One of these days if I hit the lotto. I might have to go on a hunt and find me one of them original shaker setups and a nice maverick to put it on... LOL


    Sure would have been an awesome car to have been built. I bet that would have put our mere mortal Mavericks in a different class of car.

    Not too hard to track down a shaker. You get can a pretty good quality fiberglass repo for about $500.00. I wouldn't be offended by seeing one on a Maverick either, then again I'm not a high and mighty Mustang owner but know a few that probably would act that way. Maybe I'll put one on the 70 Grabber to match my 70 Mustang Grabber with the shaker. That would be cool to show up to a car show with. :) - Matt
