This 1970 Ford Maverick is a modified example was built by the previous owner over a 12 month period in 2003 and driven on the 2004 and 2005 Hot Rod Magazine Power Tours. It has been displayed in several car shows since, has been with the seller for seven months. It is powered by a 302ci V8 with a C4 automatic transmission, and modifications include Edelbrock carburetor, intake manifold, cam and lifters, an MSD electronic ignition, aluminum radiator, B&M Shifter, and a Ford 9 inch rear end with a Detroit Locker differential. This Maverick is sold with a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.

Originally a 6-cylinder 3-speed car found in Colorado, the previous owner removed all glass and trim and repainted this car in 1972 Maverick Sprint colors. The chassis and under-hood areas were painted black while the drivetrain was being assembled. The rebuild took approximately 12 months and upon completion the car was driven on both of the 2004 and 2005 Hot Rod Magazine Power Tours. The seller points out that this car runs well and has been driven approximately 10,000 miles in the last 13 years.

The finish still presents well and all chrome trim and glass are considered to be in good condition. The Thrush side pipes are functional and reported by the seller to be quite loud. Period Cragar SS wheels wear BF Goodrich Radial TA rubber.

A low mileage donor car supplied the interior, which presents well but minor wear can be seen on some surfaces. Completely stock in appearance, the only visible modification is the B&M floor mounted shifter. The seller mentions that the original gauges are not functional, but a Summit Multi-gauge is mounted to the steering column.

The 302ci V8 and C4 automatic transmission were both sourced from a Lincoln Versailles with less than 50k miles. The Versailles offered many parts that readily adapt to the Maverick platform and wherever possible these parts were utilized. Modifications include:

Edelbrock Performer Carburetor

Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold

Edelbrock Performer Camshaft

Edelbrock Performer Lifters

Griffin Aluminum Radiator

MSD Electronic Ignition

MSD Fuse Block

Ron Francis Wiring

Lincoln Versailles 9 Inch Rear End

Detroit Locker Differential with 3:75 Gearing

Lincoln Versailles 4-Wheel Disc Brakes

Lincoln Versailles Front Sway Bar

No service records are available, but a complete mechanical check up was recently performed and the only issue involved the fuel cell not venting properly. This problem has since been corrected.

The trunk features a fuel cell with high performance fuel pumps, and a dry cell battery. A Craftsman tool box hides the MSD ignition controller and fuse panel.
