    Hello there everyone! :wave: I've been interested in Mavericks for quite some time and I joined this forum b/c low and behold, I finally got ahold of a Maverick. I recently bought a 76 Mav from a man in Pilot Point Texas, via Ebaymotors. It's a 76 with a smaller bumper conversion, has a 5 lug conversion, and the body is mighty solid. Not too bad since it only cost me $481! My plans for it are to paint it, put a mild 302 with a c4 behind it, MAYBE some nitros, and redo the interior. Possibly make it a daily driver. Well any input would be greatly appreciated and I'm pretty sure I'll be hitting up the tech forums! Here's some pics of the Mav...
