    Hello everyone, just thought I would make an intro thread. My name is Dustin and I'm 22 (my birthday was Tuesday the 13th :) ) My wife bought me a 1976 Maverick as my present. It only has 102,xxx miles. Minor rust is spread around the car. There is a new alternator, water pump, fuel pump, battery and starter solenoid on it. Only paid $400 for it :) The only thing I need is an air cleaner assembly for it. If anyone has one they can sell me let me know, I really want to take her for a drive. Anyway here are a few pics.

    I was thinking along the lines of neon green paint, some neon and a hood and roof scoop that are nonfunctional. :cool:

    What engine do you have? if its a V8 you can get an aftermarket air cleaner at any parts store.

    It's the 200 cid I6. Not the V8, sadly.
