    ... question keeps surfacing :
    .
    AFAIH - Mavericks and Comets were equipped with the inline six in about 80% of the 69-77 production or 4 out of 5 - six's vs V8 equipped cars built. Haven't been able to find actual figures.
    .
    Info / source for this info appreciated.
    .
    thanks

    If you can find enough Marti Reports for each year, numbers can be calculated. Will no doubt require some time.

    Here's a start....
    14,474 '71 Mav had 170 & three speed. Now just need to find how many were automatic (zero, wasn't offered), also same numbers for 200, 250 & 302. Subtract number of 6cyl from V8s.

    EDIT, according to 1971 Armchair Estimator, stick wasn't available for 250. Now only have to find numbers for stick & automatic 200 & 302.
