    So today im driving down my little main street and there is this garage that has been closed down since i can remember. Across the street is a fenced in area that you cant see in and i started wondering? Hmmm... I stop and the guy that owns it happens to be walking out.. So he takes me over to let me see and low and behold.. 1- 1975 maverick 302, auto, disc brake front, factory ac. Wrecked a little in the front. 1- 1975 4 door maverick, no motor, factory A/C with manual steering and disc brakes. And last but not least a 1977 Granada 302, 4 spd, disc brake 9 inch. So a ask him what he will take for all of them and what does he say.... 300 bucks and you can have all this junk......... I almost fainted.

    I certainly hope that Ford didn't bother to put a 4 speed in a damned Granada, and left the Maverick with autos and 3 spds.

    Was there a 3 speed plus overdrive?
