1970 Ford Maverick

[gdouaire]

My brother-in-law has just finished his 4-year project, a 1970 Maverick with an inline six, the car looks, feels and drives line a new one...

I'd Coyote swap that

No coyote needed...... replace the inline6 with a 90's roller 302 engine, then EFI it.

Is that a good thing? Weren't these terrible cars? Hopefully better than new😉

Be bold. Put an LS engine in it. I don't think anyone's put an LS engine in a car before that didn't already come with one. That would be new.

Oh, wait....nevermind.

Pretty cool, nonetheless.

sharp looking car!

I always thought those were cool, especially in grabber trim. Kinda like a Vega with a 327 swap (ask me about my daddy issues). What did Chrysler have? A rebadged Mitsubishi? Lame.

When I was going to school I worked for my uncle. One of his regular customers was a rabid Ford guy with a bunch of cool-ish cars. My favorite was a ratty Maverick bracket car with a nasty 302.

Mavericks are cool.
