    Hey! My name is Jason... I also answer to Jake. I live in Fredericksburg, Texas with my family. My 15 year-old son and I recently bought a '77 Maverick to work on together. It's a great car - 250 straight six/auto - that just needs a little interior work... and not much of that. We'll surely do a bunch of stuff that isn't necessary... cosmetic stuff... mods/improvements... but we mostly just enjoy the time together.

    I've lurked a bit. This place seems like a wealth of info, so it seemed like a great idea to join in.

    Thanks for having me!

Have a 72 Maverick in the restoration phase and gladly retiring in the next couple weeks enabling me to have some fun time working on my Maverick. Lots of good stuff on this website and hope to be able to get some references on parts when needed. Have fun and enjoy.
