    Hi my name is Jeff aka Buzzy. I had a 72 Maverick when I was 16 and have always have wanted that cars back. I have a car addiction and no 12 step program is gonna help me.

    I currently have 12 cars
    1967 Ford f100 prostreet truck
    1969 Ford F100 stock truck
    1970 Ford F250 stock truck
    1974 Ford Maverick project
    1978 Lincoln Mark V on 22 inch rims 460
    1984 Mazda rx7 Turbo coupe low 10 second car
    1988 Mazda rx7 Convertible
    1990 Ford mustang gt 11 second car 351 C
    1995 toyota Landcruiser
    1996 Overland motor coach
    2004 ford Lightning
    2009 Nissan Altima

    The Maverick is a great find 90% solid car
    I am thinking about either a 428 cj swap or a 2004 cobra swap
    from what I have found I see that a 428 can be installed with moving the shock towers out a little.

    Well it is still in the planning stage
    I know I want skinny bumpers and cougar tail lights
    any help or great ideas would be welcomed

    well thats it for now

    here is a link to my photo bucket if you would like to see my cars

    From Chilliwack BC
    I saw this shelby Maverick on ebay last week kinda had me thinking to do a more subtle version of his idea
    I have 2 428 scj engines on the floor of my shop with edelbrock heads manifolds.
    my best buddy has a wrecked 2004 svt cobra he wants me to do something with.
    So I am torn on what one to go with.
