maverick parts car...

[Dan]

Acquired a maverick parts car tonight (want to use the rearend for my sbc powered '49) havent picked it up or seen it yet, dont know if its two or four door but what other if any parts might be useable for my '49 or '30 coupe project???

If it's a 1970-1971 I might interested in the bumpers and valance pan.

They have a nice hanging pedal setup. Grab the master cylinder to have as a core. The tailights are actually kinda cool. The roof skin can make a good top insert on certain coupes.

my high school principal told me his first car was a maverick with a 302, so maybe your car is a V8 car?

i've never seen one, so i can't verify this, but i've been told that the heater (or heat/air) is totally inside the car in mavericks. i.e., nothing on the engine side of the fire wall. if that's the case it might be good for use in a fat fendered rod.

Maverick guys are FREAKS! They make us look lathargic and lazy...if that's a V8 car, tear it down to the last nut and bolt, then list each item individually on e-bay or take them to local swap meets! That stuff is good as gold!!

(My Dad had a V8 Maverick Stallion with a 302 4 speed, my sister wrecked it, and I parted it out after putting the engine into one of my own projects...people were beating down my door to get those "rare" V8 Maverick parts!!)

Small radiator, probable c-4 automatic, you might have to change the axles on the rear- maybe four bolts. If they are five, the front end parts might help a falcon owner change over.

Six cylinder Mavericks used the four lug wheels the first couple of years, after 1974 they all had 'standard' five lug wheels...even the six poppers.

Most V8 Mavs were automatics, but there were a few factory four speed cars, too. Rear axles are different between six and eight cylinder cars most times...the V8 cars had an early Mustang style 8-inch. Some six cylinder cars had the 8-inch, too...especially in later years.

Fat Hack nailed it on the rears. But I've seen 5 lug rears on the early 250 6 cyl cars too.
