77 Ford Maverick - 14 Days, 6,200 Miles, Will it Make it? 

I got my 74 Mav from Country Classic Cars off 55 south of Springfield Illinois. Love it. Did skinny bumper conversion and soon 302 swap.

Hell yeah it can!!! Especially if it has the inline 6!!

Looks like a fun trip so far

Glenn’s Daytona coupe with a late model power plant is a beauty. Kudos for making that kind of journey, looking forward to the continuation

Cool video, and a awesome adventure. I’d love to try something like this, in my 85 Mustang.

That was an awesome road trip Tony! It was really cool to watch, I love the Maverick!! Really sucks about the Cat, and the bad repair 🤦🏻... beautiful scenery! Can't wait to see Part 2. Have a great weekend Tony!

Really fun video Tony. Looking forward to part 2!

Hey Tony, another great video. Glad the Maverick held up( mostly). It looks like a fun trip. My oldest son was watching and really likes the car, let me know when you sell it.

Nice ! Glad ya got your nuts tightened up, Tony . 😆 Bet the Maverick is glad to be home..

Nice video of the scenery and car Tony. Can't wait for part 2. I'm still working and have trouble getting time to complete work on the 65 mustang. I'm happy to watch your Great video you make. 😀👍🏻 Keep them coming!

As I drove half way across the country to Fort Benning, GA in 1987 in a really clapped out high mileage 1975 Pinto wagon in a couple of days with no problems, certainly more than achievable. The trip back the Midwest several months later saw a broken timing belt just out side of Pensacola, FL ( I took the long way back). After a couple of weeks in Gulf Coast FL at the beach, it was fixed and I drove back from there in a couple of days with no mishaps. This was 65 mph days although 70 was probably push it it. Didn’t have much left in it at 80.

Awesome trip. Looks like you are in good company with that reliable factory five car!! Looking forward to the next video!

Love that Maverick, those things came out when I was in high school. A friend of mine inherited a Maverick Grabber 302, and went on to make a cam change and high rise with Holley 4 bbl. That car was really quick for what it was back in the day. Fast forward, I'm retired, and purchased a 1973 Mach 1 Mustang. It is the car I wanted when I was 16, in 1973, but my Dad wouldn't buy me one, and I hadn't saved enough money to get one myself. Or course, my buddy down the road got one. Anyway, it looks great, but like you said, it is a old car, and has some of it's own peculiarities. 351C runs great, but does have a small harmonic vibration between 2000-3000 RPM, that I haven't found yet. Also, had to replace my turn signal flasher, at which all the lights outside work fine, but turn indicators inside aren't working. Just put new shocks and a new pitman arm on it. So, it is a hobby, work in progress, but I love driving it to cruise ins and car shows, and watching other people do a double take as I ride by lol. Love your Mach 1 btw.

Your a brave man but definitely a cool road trip 😎

Really enjoying the heck out of this video. If you would, please ask Glen what mufflers he is using, they have that deep rumble sound I want for my GT. Thanks

Nice, I got a 73, wanting to get rid of these crager wheels cause I love the stock look, so if you ever bring it through WV again and you wanna trade lmk 🤣

Bockscar was the B29 for Nagasaki

I love your Mach 1 the most because that was my 1st car and i relly miss it's performance, style and comfort. I would buy your Maverick but i need the small chrome bumper conversion becuse i hate those big silver taxi cab bangers! Then a would put in a 3 speed with oveedrive trans. from a '77 Granada that i have to get a boost in peformance and fuel economy. And of course a nice low restriction exhaust system and maybe some 14x7 aluminum Mustang or Maverick wheels. The 250 is a rock solid 7 main bearings engine. I swapped one from a '71 Maverick 4 dr into my '66 Mustang with a 4 speed from a '67 and '66 V-8 driveshaft. Only change was to use a Pinto yoke on little 4 lug rear axle and the Maverick gas pedal and throttle cable. Simple boost in power and reliability from.my 200k plus mile worn 200 six and non syncro 3 speed. I used a Hurst short throw shifter. The gearing was stock i think 3.20 so i kept it at highway 70 mph 75 max.

👍

Got any mustang 2 front suspension

Where do you start from? When you went over the wv Ohio bridge I used to live right there

What kind of seats do you have in your maverick or did you buy it that way

Glenn Beck?
