    I doubt it was exactly the same....he had a stroker kit, better heads,bigger cam,better exhaust.....

    Just being honest.....

    I'm sure your car sounded great though:Handshake

    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    'Glad to know that my ride had a part in inspiring you to get a Maverick, Chinguschild.

    Me and that Maverick had a tumultuous relationship until it finally got running right (converting to EFI wasn't as easy as I thought it'd be). Actually, I'm a little embarrassed of that vid. The car wasn't running nearly as good as it does now. There was still lots of money and tinkering to go when that vid was made.

    I've loaned the car to my brother (in Louisiana) who will be racing it this year. I hope to have videos of it at the track soon.

    Thanks for the comments, guys.


    Take care,

    Rick
