The image of Johnston Ford is really an image of Gerald Ford the President of America.

You're right, didn't catch that... at least Pres. Ford was from Michigan where Ford Motor Co. still is...

I've never read or watched a car review where the original price of the car was given in "adjusted for inflation" numbers without saying so. I'm assuming that is what the producer of the video was doing when they use the figure of $22,000. Mavericks were introduced at $1,995 in 1970. A base $1,995 Maverick would cost you about $17,000 in 2024 dollars - clearly a value back then for sure, especially when compared to the average base cost of a vehicle today. And I promise even the slowest of Mavericks could finish the quarter mile a lot faster than 60 seconds! Haha. Despite a number of errors in this video, I appreciate the Maverick content.

My local police department suffered with six cylinder Aspens and Volaris for several years, but things changed when the city tested a V-8 Fairmont and a Reliant K. The Fairmont won and officers were happy for a while - at least until someone decided to convert them to Propane,,,,

The Maverick could be owner-built into a serious performance car, but the Grabber was an appearance package only, just because something from the 60-70s rolled off the line with a V-8, mag wheels, and a snazzie name, it’s not a muscle car. They were economy cars. And I don’t remember for sure but DynonDon was running a 351C or larger rather than the base 302.

So, in stock form they were nothing to be desired performance wise. They did make out to be a good go to work car.

To each their own, but I'd have to disagree completely. While they became "throw-away" cars because of their high production numbers and low cost, they were very solidly built. I've owned one since I was 12 years old so I'm very familiar. The drive-train options were that of the first generation Mustangs which were known to be very reliable. The rest of the car featured solid body construction and very simple functions making them very dependable.
