Hey cool!.....I'm no giant Ford fan, but there are some Fords I really like. Man, tell me that Maverick isn't some kinda crazy transformation!! Most you see are higher in the front than the back, have tiny wheels and a 6 cylinder. That baby's clean too!! I guess you could say Darts suffer the same dilemma.....most are 6 cylinders with tiny wheels and a goofy stance from the factory. Easy to change that tho'.....

Here's a Ford I just picked up last month......I haven't owned a Ford since high school!!!.....which was 32 years ago!! I had a '64 Falcon with a V-8 and a stick when I was 17 and I'd been wanting to get another one lately. But this Ranchero was a smokin' deal and has a 289 HIPO engine (factory solid lifters/hot cam, dual point distributor, special big main caps, special heads and a huge 715 Holley) and a Toploader 4-speed/Hurst shifter, 9" posi rear end with 3.25 gears. The previous owner died and his son had it in his garage for the past 10 years just sitting. I got a pretty decent deal on it because it had 4 rotten flat tires and didn't run. I was haulin' *** in it in a week's time. :) It only weighs 2875 lbs! (BTW, it isn't higher in front, it's just all the parts loading down the rear)
