1977 Ford Maverick review from North America
"The ultimate in power, looks, and price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
