Somebody Shoot Me!

With the wife's blessing (well, not really, but she 's not too upset) I jumped off into yet another project. A stripper '72 Maverick that weighs 2750# out of WA state. This one won't get a turbo Buick motor but instead a 2003 Corvette LS-1 motor (for now) with a later upgrade to a Weber 416" LS-3 stroker with L92 heads. Should be on the transporter this week and heading home to TX!

check out countrywide auto transport. They're a broker but They had the best prices and were where they needed to be when it came down to it.

Thats gonna be a cool project. My buddy just sold his Maveric Drag radial roller.

A word of advise. If you ever consider buying aftermarket front suspension for it, stay away from AJE.

Just bought a coil-over front clip from RCMotorsports. Had the car 2 weeks now and it's pretty well stripped down. Just need to zip out the shock towers and I'll be welding!

Once upon a time. It was a 73 Red/White Grabber. Never would have thought of it as a potential hybrid.....The guy that bought it still has it sitting on his land...bet I could pick it up cheap....hmmmmm

We had 1... A 70 model. Ran a 300" Fird 6 in it, with a toploader behind it.
H/MP...Fun car![For those too young = H/ modified production.] My friend, Cotton Perry, in a Chebby 2, [Pocket Rocket], was the top dog, along w/ another Mav from motor city, called "Preparation H"..A sure cure for "hemiroids".
Weber side drafts, Crane cam, MAX ported head....

FUN TIMES!
