I don't have the Maverick any more, I sold it to my brother some years back(I was across country in the Navy at the time and I wasn't doing anything with it, was just taking up space in my parents back yard) who worked on it for a while but eventually lost interest and sold it to someone my dad knew, who actually did rebuild it so that's good it's seeing a new life instead of being scrapped. Wish I still had it, one of these days I'd like to buy another one.
having that car as a first car taught me a lot about driving though, because it was the most basic car you could imagine and the only convenience it really had to aid me in driving was power steering. It had a 250ci inline six, 1 barrel carb, three on the tree manual transmission, and drum brakes all around. Not a fun car to drive in any sort of inclement weather, it took me two winters of driving that car before I said screw this and picked up a cheap Dodge Neon(which itself wasn't a great car, but it did what I needed it to do) to drive in the snow and ice instead.
