Vehicle Description
This 1973 Ford Maverick offers a sporty silhouette in a lighter
package than its Torino siblings, and so that seems like the right
place to start with a full muscle car makeover. That's why you have
bold paint, four-wheel disc brakes, a seriously powerful V8, and a
six-speed upgrade to control it all.
The Maverick is an ideal car for a classic speed machine. It
already looked great with flared fenders, a fastback-style profile,
and an integrated rear spoiler. So it earns a quality respray of
its factory-correct Bold Red. It makes for a straight, clean, and
attractive package. This one also likes to give people some hints
at how custom it really is. The front bumper is from an earlier
year so it hugs the form; the side trim was expertly eliminated so
you could see the body lines better; and those are the most
trumpeted exhaust tips we've seen since the first Mustang GT. Plus,
it's hard to miss the competition-style American Racing Torq Thrust
wheels with extra meaty rear rubber.
The all-black interior looks great against the bold red exterior.
Just like the outside, the full setup is clean and sporty. You have
a great-looking set of bucket seats up front, and the pattern is
matched on the rear bench and door panels. The classic dual-spoke
steering wheel gives you a clear view to the crisp factory gauges,
but that's not the whole story. There's AutoMeter readouts for oil
pressure and engine temp cleanly installed within the dash. And the
large AutoMeter Street Tach goes great with the stout aluminum
shifter. These pieces tell you that this may have an excellent
AM/FM/CD/USB stereo, but your real favorite soundtrack begins under
the hood.
The engine bay also has a clean look of a solid investment. The
Maverick was built to hold Ford's 302 cubic-inch Windsor V8, and so
it's larger 351 variant fits easily, too. And this one is more than
just added displacement. It's a full performance build that
includes BluePrint Muscle Series aluminum heads, a roller camshaft,
Edelbrock intake, and topped with a Demon 750 CFM four-barrel
carburetor. Plus, headers add power while contributing to the
rumble of the X-pipe dual exhaust. It's supported by the right
pieces, like upgraded pulleys w/serpentine belt, Mallory
distributor, Optima red top battery, and an aluminum radiator
w/electric fan. It's a total power package, and you have the best
in control, because the upgraded T56 six-speed manual transmission
is 50% more gears than what you could get from Ford. As you look
underneath, you'll see an upgraded sway bar up front and CalTracs
traction bars in the rear. There's also a limited slip rear end,
four-wheel disc brakes, and wide Mickey Thompson tires. So this
Maverick was built to be an all-around better driver.
Complete with receipts, a Maverick offers distinction at the car
show, and this custom one also gives you superiority at the
stoplights. It's an unbeatable package, especially for this
affordable price. Call today!!!
