    Hey Ivy.....I would like to add the picture of that Sprint to my Maverick Heaven website if you are not going to restore it. If you restore it....then it never made it to heaven!!!

    No Restore On This One You Can Put It & The Brown One In The Maverick Heaven. I'm Working On A 72 Maverick And I Need The V8 Parts To Fix The One I Have. It Had A 200 Six. I'm Installing A Stock 95 Gt 302 Roller With A Street Dominator With A 500 Holley Two Barrel And A Stock C4 To Run It In Drive It Should Run The Numbers Consistent. It Will Be A No-lead Gas Race Car And A Driver. Give The Old Race Car A Rest

    it is out of Groveton old black community called Fodice and that is the the way it is spelled on the sign. Its off hwy 287 i have the mans number it you need it. He has found one more yard with a 100 or more cars in it I will have to go and check it out when he buys it. Co out of Houston gave him 10,500.00 for the 100 cars to crush. I got the maverick for 150.00 and a 351 w motor with a street dominator on it with a race bell-housing on it got to get it down to see whats inside
