[aussiebj]

G`day everybody i am an aussie living here in the states NY to be exact i have been following this web for awhile gathering infor on my latest project its a little different than the norm as it is a 70 Maverick yes thats right...i am in the process of making it into a pro touring car...it has a 460 BB ford with around 600 hp and 545 ft lbs of torque backing it up is a JW C6 transmission (for the Moment) and a ford 9inch with a nodular case stuffed with moser axles and 4.11 posi...my goal is to make a nice daily driver that will be able to go to a road track or drag strip yet still be good on the street and besides when was the last time you seen a maverick wearing 315 x35 x17 and powered by a 460 BB....anyway here are some pics to bring whoever is interested in my little mav up to speed..thank you Barry

Thats pretty cool Barry, something different.

How'd you go about getting a greencard to live there? Is a dream of mine to live in the U.S for a while and enjoy some of the fine cars there, but getting a greencard seems impossible. Let a fellow aussie in on your secret.

I met and married a Long Island girl but it was not easy to get a green card just by marring her it took several visits to the immigration building in New York...good luck and thanks for the comments..Hey where you from i grew up in Sydneys western suburbs Mt Druitt yes i am a westie Had many a car growing up lots of toranas and one even got in magazines it was an A9X plate

G'day Barry
Weird coincedence I was looking for Maverick info when I found your post. I am also Aussie but living in Canada B.C I am heading out tomorrow to look at a project Maverick for myself.I work at Killer Customs (killercustoms.ca) so thought it's about time I get a Pro-Touring project underway. The car I am looking at is caged tubed 9" mustang 2 front big brake etc etc so a good starting point. I to had some cool cars in Aus, Boss Mustang,6-pack charger and cool 73 Fairlane.Will keep you post if I buy the car.

Cheers Jay

G'day fellas,
Firstly for Bazza, Sorry to hear you had to sell a nice lookin ride. Since you sold off your Bad Mav project, have you started anything else? Another Maverick?

Secondly, I have recently become the proud owner a 73 Grabber which was once owned by my brother. He, unfortunatly, lost his life in Iraq in 2007.

The car currently lives in my uncles shed just outside of Boston, MA. I'll be looking at shipping it here, to Melbourne, VERY soon.

Before I do though, I'd like to gather some more info on the Mavericks. Is there anything like a "Gregory's" or "Haynes" manual for these cars there? Any help would be great.
