    1973 Maverick
    Hey there All! My name is Jeff and I bought my second Maverick about a month ago. (My first was a 1970 Maverick - My very first car.) My new one is a 1973, yes it's a big bumper one! But I plan on changing that as soon as I can get a hold of the nicer, smaller bumpers.

    However, I have a few questions. In my searches for Mavericks on line, I've come across a couple of things mods that I really love, but I can't seam to find out what they are, or where I can get them.

    I've attached some pics of the mods: The first one is a blue Maverick with a great front ground effects piece. I want it! What is from, and where can I get it!

    The second is a red Maverick with a cool side skirt for laker pipes. Does anyone know where I can get that one?

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Oh yeh, the green one is mine! (And the wife's too.)

    They are Brazilian Mavericks. They have a huge following down there and do some really cool stuff.

    73's Don't have big bumpers, they have a medium sized front bumper, and the rear is the same as 70-72.
    I'm pretty sure that blue one is photo shopped, you have alot of work ahead of you to get those wheels under a Maverick.

    Welcome From central Minnesota. I like the color of your Mav. It will look cool with the side pipes and the front airdam. There is a yellow and black Mavrick on you tube with the molded side pipes that sounds really really good. :thumbs2:

    Welcome from the great NW. You might consider just moving the bumper in 2 or 3 inches, removing the bumper gards and.... no more big bumper.
