rocketraider Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The Maverick car did what it did very well. Guess Ford thought they'd gotten all the mileage they could out of the Falcon name. I always thought a Maverick with a 351 or even a hot 302, a 4-speed and a 3.50 locker would have made a formidable street car, except performance had become a dirty word by then... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 In hindsight the 2 door maveric's werent that bad. I think it was the Grabber that was hot rodded a bit. I had a GF in HS that had an ugly green 4 door POS that was a hand me down family car. I dont think the crusher would even take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get the Maverick with the 302, not hot, and no stick. At least that is the way I remember it. Too bad, because as a small car, a beefed 302 with a four speed and a posi would be every bit as cool as a 340 Duster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 This just displaced the Pontiac Aztec as the first place winner of the Joe West award for the ugliest American car ever made. I wonder why they designed it with the “it’s already been in an accident” front end? Perhaps because making it look like it has been in an accident actually makes it look better? LOL. On the bright side, perhaps the demise of the automobile will not be so painful with cars that look like this.
