I just got home from a 12 round trip to Covington GA were I got my third maverick. I was hesitant to buy it over the phone but the seller was sure about it he said that if I did not like it enough I was free to go home with my money and all I would lose is the rental for the tow dolly, gas money and a day's worth of driving. So I drove under the day's long rain and i was gladly surprised but at the same time felt a little bad for the guy because he was letting go of his baby, and I commited to, if in the future I decided to sell it, he would have the first chance to do so. The car is a dimond in the rough. Being a southern car it has a very minimal amount of rust. The 302 has less than 1000 miles since being rebuilt using lots of hi performance parts such pistons and cam by summit and edelbrock 4 barrel carburator and aluminium intake. The undercarriage is rust free but it has a cowl vent leak. Strange but true. The leak is a small one and it has not rotted the floor boards yet, thank God.it was a 6 in line and unfortunatelly he matted the compleatly rebuilt 302 to the original c-4 tranny and I am not to crazy about that. It needs some interior work but it is minimal. He had a cheap weekend painters job on it but it looks good for now. Needs the bumpers rechromed and here is what really stinks; He cut the front springs to lower it and it bounces a lot besides of the fact that it drags the oil pan when I pull in my drive way. It has some summit racing mufflers and is to loud for my taste. Don't get me wrong, I like some noise but this is teenager loud and abnoxious in my opinion. So here is my request to all my fellow maverick-comet fanatics. Were do I get stock size springs for the front and how difficult is it to change them?. oh, by the way I know that you like pictures and I will load them up tomorrow when I get off work.
If it was a 250 6cyl then it is the same C4 that was used for a 302. Summit has Moog replacement spring to fit a Maverick http://store.summitracing.com/egnse...0+4294908331+4294908284+115&Ntk=KeywordSearch
