'70 Maverick

[TerryH432]

Evening everyone! Jut starting a thread for our newly acquired '70 Maverick. Car is a couple years old and is a rotisserie build by Fat Daddy's Garage in Texarkana, Tx. It's a great build but I have plans to make some changes to update the build. It all started as a super clean and rust free '70 6 cylinder.



The car is powered by a Prestige Motorsports 425/425 aluminum headed 347 stroker. Trans is a Tremec TKO 600. Rear is a Currie built 9" posi with 3:50 gears and Wilwood brakes and master.



Suspension is all from RRS out of Australia. It is a strut front with center steer rack and RRS stage 2 brakes. Rear is the RRS 3 link with torque arm and QA1 Coil overs.



The Mumford link on the rear was not oriented correctly when we got the car. I've corrected that now. I had to cut the tail pipes off to get the arms in the proper configuration. No issue as I'll be changed the exhuast any way.





Interior is built around a pair of ProCar Elite lumbar black leather buckets. The remaining interior was redone in black leather to match. Heat and A/C is Vintage air. Pioneer and Skar stereo equipment provides the sounds.



Paint and body is very nice. Color is Chrysler Blue Streak Pearl. Not much to do here other than a fresh polish and ceramic coat. Wheels are Boyd's J5R's. 17x7 fronts and 17x9 rears. Tires are Nitto N555 G2's. 225/45's on the front and 245/45's on the rear. We'll be tinting the windows and color matching the black Grabber hood scoops.



Car was not running when we bought it. Turns out the issue is dead injector drivers in the sniper. I'll be replacing the OG Sniper with a Sniper 2 in the next couple days and my tuner will be here next week to get a tune in it. I'll post more as we go.
