    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Has anybody thought of starting a Shelby Maverick clone i've seen many GT500 clones and Cobra clones and was wondering if some one has the money to start one of these?:hmmm:

    I'm not saying that the shelby Maverick exists or doesnt exist?:90:

    But if there is a real one what engire do you guys think I would have had, I would guess a 351 or maybe a 390 and what kind of other specs, stock dual exhaust?:huh:

    It would have to have a unique horn.

    I think its safe to say that there are several shelby inspired mavericks already done and out there. I can think of at least 5 or so just on this board , and thats not really trying to count them all...probly at least double that if you started looking.

    I'd have to go with a regular 302 and possibly build a stroker. The Boss 302 is too rare hard to get parts for. Way too expensive. I know...I have one.
