    Just go back from a cruise morning down near the water on the south shore of Long Island....Probably about 3-400 cars....They meet there every sunday all winter long as long as there isn't snow on the ground

    Oddly, mine was the only Maverick:dancing:

    I sold parts to this guy. He wants $3,000 firm. New front disk brakes, 20k miles on rebuilt 302 w/ GT40 heads and cam, 20K miles on T5 world class, Holley 750, Eldelbrock intake, elec rad fan, headers with duals and turbo muffs. Body in primer and one small spot of rust in rear quarter. Need to replace pass door. Mav Bucket seats. Car runs strong.

    I am think is it a running project. My projects are in pieces.

    I am thinking about it. Any comments are welcome.

    put the front steering linkage back in, yesterday, drove the car for the first time since 2005 this afternoon.

    Landlord made me move my cars out of the yard.

    I put a new batttery in (stolen from my 82 Mercury Capri RS) and it fired right up!

    I couldn't get the fittings for the power steering control valve back in, so i took the belt off the power steering pump and drove!

    It was actually a little tighter than I remember.

    It will be getting disassembled soon, most parts going in to the 76 body!
