In its day, the Maverick was the most warranty-free car ever built by Ford. Simple, proven drivetrain options, whereas the Mustang in the same era (and predecessor Mustangs) were one of the most warranty prone repair cars every built by Ford. Would like to see a resto-mod version, the body has all the bones to make "Italian-like".

My first car was a 74 Maverick and I'm building a custom early 70 Maverick which is often also called a (69.5 Early cars) had the ignition on the dash not the steering column. 69.5 to 72 Mavericks had small sporty bumpers like early mustangs. Richard is wrong the 73 is not the holly grail of grabbers. In 73 the front bumper got bigger Then even bigger in 74 along with the rear bumper. However Brazil and Mexico never had to go to the larger bumpers.

I bought a 73 Maverick Grabber new in 73. It cost $3200. It had a 302 V8 and it did have a little snot. Don't forget, it was 500 lbs lighter than a Mustang or Camaro. I'm not saying it was faster than any Mustang or Camero, but if they had similar engines, like a 302 Mustang, or a 307 Camaro, it could beat them.
