    Hello all, I just wanted to say howdy and introduce myself. I'm currently looking at a number of Mavericks and hopefully will own one within the next few weeks. This will be my first Muscle Car and as such I'm sure I will be on this forum quite a bit! Anyways, really glad you guys and gals have such a great resource here, and I hope to be an active part of it!

    Not exactly a muscle car until you make it into one - good luck with your search - I'm sure you will find one soon :tiphat:

    Thanks everybody! I'm actually looking at the blue '75 listed for sale in the classifieds section right now. Currently it has the 250 in it but I'm planning on dropping in a 302. Doing research on that now, in terms of cost, different engines, etc. I won't be able to do the engine swap myself, as I have neither the equioment nor experience to do an engine swap, however other mechanical issues I'll be able to handle. Having the car inspected on Thursday. If you folks have any input as to what you think a reasonable price on such a car would be I'd be glad to hear it. Once again, thanks for the warm welcome!
