1977 Ford Maverick 351w Interceptor from North America
Summary:
The ultimate in power, looks, and price
Faults:
The upper control arms squeaked a lot.
In-line 6 had a knock, so I replaced it with a 351w out of a police car.
I cannot keep people from stopping me and asking about the car.
There was a slight rust problem when I first began restoring the car. It was nothing some new steel couldn't fix.
General Comments:
If you are looking for a cheap, fast, and unique car, then you have found it.
These cars are more lightweight than most Porsche cars. Really, check it out for yourself.
A little bit of work brings these cars to life.
They are born street sleepers.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

A Maverick worth $15,000? Sure, if it has $14,500 in cash in the trunk!

I own a 1977 ford maverick. Have had a lot of fun with it making modifications to it and now has a 390 BB out of a 1965 ford galaxie cop car. And have found out that a maverick is lighter than most mustangs.

Hey! I personally am the proud owner of a 77' Maverick. There have been a few modifications added to it, but it is still the best looking car in my town. It also rides better then my mothers brand new Dodge Stratus. I would not sell that car for the world!
