    Anyone out there have any pictures of Sam Auxier's 1970 Maverick with the 427 Cammer engine? I now own the car and am looking for pictures of it. Sam has sent me quite a few that he has, but I am always looking for more. Thanks!

    wow! very nice. Does it still have "the".. or "an".. SOHC in it too?

    Hopefully someone here can dig up some other pic's you don't already have to help your restoration detail.. but in the mean time.. how's about a nice big pic for us to drool over?

    That one in your sig is just a little teaser. ;)

    Sorry to report that the car does not look anything like it did.....but I am planning on making it look like it did. It is now red, with an alston chassis with a Cleveland/C6 and the original dana 60 that Sam put in it. I've posted pics of it here before. Search the site for Auxier.

    I've posted pics of some of Auxier's cars on the Mid Sized Flyers page on Facebook.
