Well 1974 was the first year of the big bumper cars. I will have to say that the 1969 model to the 1972 model cars with the small bumpers are the cool cars. Then in 1973 they introduced the somewhat larger front bumper to comply with federal mandated crash standards which allowed them to still run the smaller bumper in the rear. Along comes 1974 and they jacked the bumpers to large front and rear. 1975 saw even larger bumpers that even some four wheel drive trucks would be envious of.

But yeah,, I can see an old woman driving that car!!!!

How on God's green earth can we get from the bikes in the pics to a stinking Mavrick or Comet. Threadjacking at it's...........................Worst!!

Mavman,,, I used to have a yard full of Mavericks. In fact I just got rid of all the parts I had for them and the car I was going to restore. I had stripped down about five of them and bought ALL kinds of parts. There is this guy in Commerce, GA that is real big on the Maverick/Comet forum that bought everything I had.

Ask HammerPete,, it was a sickness that took years to cure me of. But I still have that special place in my heart for the Mav!!!!! They are by far the best drag racing cars from those years!!!!!!

uummm didn't mean to invoke a maverick discussion...SORRY drgibson, yet I do think it's cool Tim that ya had an interest in them also. Sorry but I do/did like the 74 and 75 mavs. Nuf said.

Back to original programming.

I LOVE THESE MOTORCYCLES and pictures!!

Pinhy · 10-31-2005, 04:18 PM

funny thing is, i was tyring to remember if it was a 72 or a 74? but i dont remember the bumper so no good there either.

tlwisner · 10-31-2005, 04:29 PM

SORRY

I'm cool with it too!

Mavericks were cool cars..They had great lines to them and took to customizing well. Maybe Doug is a little obtuse, and can't use his imagination to see a Mav with a 460 c.i. engine stuffed in the bay, with a coil over rear, tubbed and tubed, a giant hood scoop with either a tunnel ram dual carb setup or a blower (injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown). Nor could he probably picture said animal with it's bumper facing skyward as it launches so hard it folds up the 32's with twelve pounds of pressure in them. Of course, the only thing that could probably beat it would be a Vega with a similiar setup. Nah....Doug couldn't picture that...he's in love with them Wanker engines.

stp1971 · 11-01-2005, 03:29 PM

Bloody Wanker!!!!!

HAMMERPETE · 11-02-2005, 07:15 AM
