    I had a 13 sec. Ford. Maverick with the Grabber hood.It was a great car the only problem was the rust.You could throw a cat threw the trunk.

    I never knew that.That does explain why it was about 25 lbs. lighter when I sold it.

    It's always been a well kept secret amongst us Might Mav affecianodo's, Erik. Even ran one of my Mavericks on the 1/8 mile with 6.00 gear and a 5 speed!!!! (I was a lot younger and a lot faster then)

    A good friend of mine had a bright yellow Pinto with a 351 Windsor in it.I am not really sure how fast it was but it really was great fun running away from the new Camaros and Mustangs.

    Yup, if I should trip over a Pinto 2 door wagon someday, I sure would like to build just one more skinny block powered Pinto. The wagons are nice cuz you can take the side windows out, replace them with tin. Does a good job of hiding the tubs and roll bar!!!!!!!!

    If you really have to have a SBC giant killer than try saving a little more green stuff and then head on over to Jon Barret Hot Rod Engines and get yourself one of these little buggers.

    Best 10 grand you can spend. I would rather keep my money cause street racing just ain't my bag anymore.

    I don't street race cause I don't drive a honda. Street racing is like kissing your sister, pointless and stupid (gross too), I am in the NPSA (Northwest Pro Street Assn.) in the 12.50 class, well, will start this year. The first race is March25th i think. My friend and I raced before this at the track on fridays during the open test 'n tune and plan on racing there again.

    Must be just a phase I'm going through. I'll probably give it up when I'm older. I'm only 55 ya know!!! Heck, I've had my drivers license for 5 years in a row now!!!!

    When I was about 18 the old man took me to the county morgue.That slowed me down a lot.Then the whole idea about loosing my car bothered me to.
