    I sure do but I bet ours have a lot more rust on them than they do over your way?

    I plan to race my Maverick in the Classic Touring Car Club running here in the UK and also with a new club that has started called Bernies V8 challenge. Its full of all sorts of muscle cars etc.

    Look out for some in car video when I get the car finished.


    Cheers Phil

    i will keep my eye out for that phil. They have a class called touring car masters over here, with names like "john bowe, jim richards and e few other iconic legends.No mavericks in there although they would make for a really competative race car. I had to part with my windsor powered mk3 zephyr to make way for my maverick,it was a fun ride too!

    hi phil, i noticed somewhere on this forum that you were looking for a suitable shifter for your toploader. im not sure if your class of racing allows it but a company called www.renegate.com makes a sequential shifter and apparently quite easy to install..... just a thaught mate.

    Welcome from Iowa! Where do you live in Queensland? I lived in Toowoomba for awhile back in the early 80s, Gold Coast and Brisbane too. Sure miss it there.
