    I've been working pretty hard on the car. I thought I'd have a little fun and take some pictures. I even took a picture of the original oil pressure guage. Please pardon my dust

    Stabber?

    I'm kinda new to the Maverick scene. What is a Maverick Stabber? Or is stabber a made up name?

    A Stabber is not a Maverick. It is a Comet. A Maverick couldn't be so lucky to be a Stabber :burnout:

    :D
    Looking good!

    A Stabber was a rare higher end parts car for a Maverick :rofl:

    Stabber...who came up with that name? did they think "Molester" & "Rapist" were not suitable?
