Welcome to the site.

Just wanted to welcome you here and say, that when I was just 20 yrs old, I met a girl,and later lived with ,and she owned a new 70 Ford Maverick.. I just bought a new 70 chevelle ss,so intially I wasnt impressed with that Ford.. Three years later,with gas shortages and insurance skyrocketing, I unfortunately sold the chevelle. Now the point.. I started to immagine just how wild it would be to remake that Maverick into what is now your quest.. I will be following this new trend with the Mavericks platform with great interest.. PS>> I still own a 70 chevelle,but not an original,but love it all the same.. Good luck,and welcome....phil

Welcome, it's always nice to see another Maverick, looks like a lot of tire on the rear of it!!!

[69rs]

Cometchick on this board has a pro-toured 73 Comet GT, but no big block!

The 69 is more my style. Very nice. Cool collection you have.
Welcome!

Thanks guys with so many different projects it is hard to sometime know which one to concentrate on but the up side is if i get frustrated with one project i can just move onto another one ..Thanks ...Barry

Welcome aboard, I was wondering how you juggled the projects, but I can understand the frustration at points.

I just picked up a 95 z28 camaro LT1 T56 6 speed and 373 posi rear end with over $10,000 into the drive train alone and only 100 miles since everything was rebuilt the kid i got it from hit a parked car it is still drivable...got it for 3 grand... i was thinking of putting it into my firebird but the only thing stopping me is that the bird is a numbers matching car any suggestions i could just repair it and drive it or find another 68 camaro to swap in into HYM that would be more to the list of projects...????

I sold the 69 camaro and the 67 firebird and i just picked up a 68 camaro this weekend off ebay , that needs everything i must be crazy but this guy made me a offer i just could not refuse for the 69,and i could not bring myself to cut up the 67 firebird sold it to a guy in Michigan,so out with the old and in with the new..the maverick is up for sale as well, i am concentrating on one project the 68 camaro.....Man i love this web site...Barry

Well back to the old plan the maverick is back in the garage now and work will comence once again, as for the 68 camaro i just bought no sooner was it at my house and i sold it today these cars go fast around here.But i am sticking with the maverick project as i am determined to drive a car this summer.........Barry

My first car was a Maverick(with a straight 6 ) the thought has always been in the back of my head to build one. Sweet rides!
