    After bucking hay all day, back in the late 70's, Terry, in his Maverick with a 302 took off and we were following him in a Plymouth Roadrunner with a 383. He took off and left us in the dust. At 120mph we still couldn't catch him. It wasn't until that long legged Roadrunner was hitting 130mph that we started gaining on him.

    The most HONEST car review on RUclips. Nice example of a '74 with small bumper restomod. The flaws are not uncommon, and the car is unique being a 3-on-tree V-8 of later vintage. Not bad!

    @flyjarrett 3 года назад +18

    I grew up with Mavericks and know them very well. Where this might appear to be a nice example with good paint/interior, after looking at the pictures on the Maple Motors website, there’s a bunch of things that give me pause - rust through on the underside, original paint showing from behind the rear bumper, front fenders were poorly cut to fit the new bumper, inside trunk not painted, no drivers mirror. It’s by no means mint, I would call it good, or maybe just below.

    Mavericks didn't get much respect back in the day (except of you were Glidden or Rouch) but what a sweet little car this is! Gotta love the three on the tree too. Easy to convert to a floor shift too if you so desire. This is a great car for someone to get into a classic without spending a lot of money, It won't last long on your lot at that price.

    Maverick never had 4 speed from factory. The car pictured unless they changed all the fenders and stuff is a 70 or 71. 73 they went to the big bumpers in front and 74 had the big ones in back. Grabber package had "hood scoops". But still a nice looking car. I put a 10 bolt top loader in mine with the 302. Went pretty good, didnt stop worth a dang on drum brakes.

    It seems like a pretty nice car, it looks good with the American racing wheels with that paint. and it sounds good, but I would have to swap out that three on the tree for a floor shifter. I have driven quite a few cars with column shifters. and it gets old after a while. Mavericks make really good drag cars because they transfer the weight to the rear really good.

    The best part about that car is that someone took those big ugly box bumpers off and put the smaller ones from earlier years on it. I had one of those with a 351W and a 4 speed. It would pull the front wheels off the ground through 2 gears. Yep, a lot of courthouse time with that one! Light as a feather. Think early Chevy II weight.
