    That's not really an apples to apples comparison...that thing was tricked out to the max! Not your typical 289 for sure...but definitely a bad actor...

    definitely the scariest/wickedest sounding car I have ever heard and I have been around a couple cars in my days. :p

    To me there is a "cool" factor with a 289...but doesn't apply to a Maverick (well unless it's a Mexican 289 Maverick). If I had a really nice 64 Falcon, I'd rather say it had a 289 than a 302. But that's just me.
