    After a year of looking, a friend of a friend called me to look at his friends 72 Maverick. The car has been in a barn for about 10 years before he started to "Hot Rod" it. It has 80,00 miles, 302 w/AC, perfect brown interior and miles of rust so I offered $500 for it and got it for $300!! I thought about fixing this one up but it needs both quarters,both fenders,hood and floorboards are rusted through so I'm gonna use the driveline and some of the trim in my 77. I'll try to get a pic in the next week or so on the boards for you guys to see.

    One question-- is there much difference in the 302 to 6 swap between my 77 and the 72?

    Thanks for looking and man am I pumped!!
