A friend and I went in together buying this Maverick intending to use some of the parts to fix his Stallion and then we were going to part out the rest. We both knew this plan changed the moment we first saw it. We were expecting a parts car for $250...not a driver. About a week or two of thinking about it, I offered to buy his part of the deal and have my own project.

After pushing it off the trailer we poured some gas in the tank and made an effort to start it up. After priming the carburetor the engine turned but did not run. After setting the points from .25 to .025 we did get it to spit and sputter. We pulled the fuel line and notice no gas was being pumped from the fuel pump. Replaced the fuel pump and primed the carburetor again and then hit the key and the engine came back to life.

The car itself- I noticed a few missing or broken parts here and there but overall nothing too serious (yet). With the help of some new friends over on http://mmb.maverick.to/ to answer a question or throw a part or two my way this is going to be a fun rolling project.
