This car, and the Plymouth Duster, were Jeckyl-and-Hyde cars. They could be quite ugly - especially in factory trim - or quite fierce looking with the right rims and tires. Similarly, the drive train options varied from wimpy straight sixes up thru some potent V-8's.

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
