For me, with the Fords, Henry's ghost was still pinching pennies - they put four-bolt wheels on some of those Mavericks. How cheap can you get?
I recall at least one quite potent Maverick in my home town. The guy had it tricked out quite nicely. BTW, Mr. Squirrel-Works, Don Magness, has a Maverick in his eclectic fleet

My best friend in high school had a red and white Comet. It was seriously tricked out but it was a sleeper. You would have never expected anything until he opened up the throttle.
I've always thought AMC made the ugliest cars - ever-. The Gremlin, Pacer, Matador, Javelin are all hideous.
