    What do you guys think? The only thing i am missing is a scoop with the butterflies on it! Its a 73 mav with only 70,000 miles, and it has a '85 mustang 302 engine in it with only about 3,000 miles on it. It has a tunnel ram intake with 2 450 holley carbs, dart racing heads, a 9" detroit locker rear end, a hughes street and strip trans., and much more. It has around 425 H.P.

    Lol your right about the scoop, and no, i have it in the shop right now torn apart, getting a bigger cam put in, and doing some more things to tune it up.

    Cool looking Maverick. You might raise the trailing edge of your spoiler slightly so that air pushes down on the rear end giving down force as you race through the quarter mile.
