Considering 4 speeds and 429s where never available in Mavericks would be someone had to do a hell of a job engineering to make it fit. Most of the time it’s half assed and breaks first time down the track.

@vincewilliams5219 Год назад

After bucking hay all day, back in the late 70's, Terry, in his Maverick with a 302 took off and we were following him in a Plymouth Roadrunner with a 383. He took off and left us in the dust. At 120mph we still couldn't catch him. It wasn't until that long legged Roadrunner was hitting 130mph that we started gaining on him.

@flyjarrett 3 года назад

I grew up with Mavericks and know them very well. Where this might appear to be a nice example with good paint/interior, after looking at the pictures on the Maple Motors website, there’s a bunch of things that give me pause - rust through on the underside, original paint showing from behind the rear bumper, front fenders were poorly cut to fit the new bumper, inside trunk not painted, no drivers mirror. It’s by no means mint, I would call it good, or maybe just below.

I'm a Bowtie guy, but I always loved these pocket rockets. Had a friend who had a blue one with a 302 and 4 spd in HS in the 70's. It was a beastly beauty. I'm betting some of your younger viewers are seeing a three on the tree for the first time.

@alexcorona 15 дней назад

4 speeds were never available on US mavericks, for some reason only the Mexican and Brazilian models for the 4 speeds. They also got the 4bbl carbs, US only had 2 available.

The most HONEST car review on RU-vid. Nice example of a '74 with small bumper restomod. The flaws are not uncommon, and the car is unique being a 3-on-tree V-8 of later vintage. Not bad!

@guarddog318 3 года назад

I used to own a bright red '74 Maverick Grabber... Had a 302 and 3 speed on the floor. I paid $1500 for it about 1985 or so. Wish I still had it.

@LivingOnCash 3 года назад

Mavericks didn't get much respect back in the day (except of you were Glidden or Rouch) but what a sweet little car this is! Gotta love the three on the tree too. Easy to convert to a floor shift too if you so desire. This is a great car for someone to get into a classic without spending a lot of money, It won't last long on your lot at that price.

@djh3_88hinskey5 Год назад

Maverick never had 4 speed from factory. The car pictured unless they changed all the fenders and stuff is a 70 or 71. 73 they went to the big bumpers in front and 74 had the big ones in back. Grabber package had "hood scoops". But still a nice looking car. I put a 10 bolt top loader in mine with the 302. Went pretty good, didnt stop worth a dang on drum brakes.

@mikel2283 2 месяца назад

this is a '74 with small bumper mod. The glove box is the give-away.

@geographyinaction7814 Год назад

My dad had the same car, though it was the Mercury Comet; 74, 302, auto, and it was awesome. It sort of became mine in around 87 but was gone in 88 as the motor mounts were done. Great car!

@meldridge51 Год назад

My brother had a Maverick and put a 351 Cleveland in it! With wheelly wheels on the rear he ran 9.80s in the quarter mile! It was a Bad Street Car! It’s odd seeing the three on the tree! I like this car! There’s a tremendous amount of rust underneath this car! Wonder if it was a flood car?

I haven't had a three on the tree since my 65 Fairlane back in 72. Had it in a 56 Ford in 69.

@musicauthority7828 Год назад

It seems like a pretty nice car, it looks good with the American racing wheels with that paint. and it sounds good, but I would have to swap out that three on the tree for a floor shifter. I have driven quite a few cars with column shifters. and it gets old after a while. Mavericks make really good drag cars because they transfer the weight to the rear really good.

@robertwest3093 Месяц назад

I want to thank all of the previous owners for resisting the temptation to install a floor shifter ! And yes those cars are pretty light. The book I have states around 2800 pounds and even that sounds heavy considering the length of the car. I will tell you this…. It is light enough in the rear for me to be able to grab the rear bumper and lift it about an inch off the ground 👍🏻

@JeromyBranch 3 года назад

Great job on the video and I really like the song Nick. I like this car and can consider purchasing. But it would be more valuable to me without the crappy paint that I would have to remove anyway. Why do people paint over rust? Just makes it harder to fix! It ain't that hard to patch, even with sheet metal and rivets and coat. Car sounds real good and gotta love the shifter! Thinking...gotta move to another house right now so timing not too good. Thinking...gonna grab one of your tunes and lay a lead track on it.

@billkyle693 3 года назад

The best part about that car is that someone took those big ugly box bumpers off and put the smaller ones from earlier years on it. I had one of those with a 351W and a 4 speed. It would pull the front wheels off the ground through 2 gears. Yep, a lot of courthouse time with that one! Light as a feather. Think early Chevy II weight.
