Power Tour Plan B
 

well, it's looking very doubtful to have the Chevelle ready for PT; kinda got hung up on the body prep. So I bought a "plan B" car. Please do not laugh if you see me cruising down the road in it!

It's a 70 Maverick with 8200 original miles. Very clean car, auto trans, and the amazing 200 cid 6 with 105 HP! No ps, no pb (4 wheel manual drums), and no a/c. Perfect for the Tour!

I figure I'll hook a tow strap to Camaro X or the Red Witch so they don't ditch me every day.

Ok
 

nice photo shop of a 6 cyl over the twin turbo small block ford!:unibrow:

That's a clean car, even if it is a Maverick...LOL
The interior looks like new. I will bet that straight 6 cannot be killed. Heck you could probably run it on diesel or kerosene and still keep chugging.
Was that from an estate sale ??

Man I wish I had the money to buy a plan "b" car must be nice anyways have fun on PT that is the best thing that I have ever been to:yes:

:rockin:

Wow, what a honey! My wheels are turning!

I would ride with you "shotgun" in there anytime:unibrow: ..That car will be a huge hit on Power Tour....:woot:

The only thing I'd laugh at is the sight of you getting out of the car. "Hey mommy, how did the giant get in that matchbox car?"

I kinda like the car.....:_paranoid

Jody, that car is super-duper cool. I would drive that puppy on Power tour in a second. How many folks here recall FOND memories of tooling around in a car just like that? Although, even twenty plus years ago, none of the ones I rode in were this nice...

I do agree though, how the heck are you going to fit in the thing!!!?

I dig old cars, all of them, and I dig dudes that also dig old cars. Great catch!

Very cool car. I like it and its got to be the nicest low mile one around.

thanks guys. I actually do fit in it, head doesn't quite hit the roof. Put it this way, I fit much better than I did in the stock 67 Chevelle I had a few months ago.

I told Jody he should put two "Gurney" bubbles for him and Scott on the roof.

Man that thing is clean!! You always seem to find those low mile, very clean rides! 105hp? Make sure Scott packs light. :)

Very cool & super clean too!

In case nobody else suggests.... 17x7 w/225-45's & 17x8 w/245-45's (17x8 & 9.5's if they fit) American Racing Salt Flats. Get it down towards mother earth 2~3" (eibachs or cut the freakin coils up front) & blocks out back. Slap a sway bar on it & you should still have time to change the oil (:_paranoid not that a 200/6 would ever require maint).

The above appearance package w/some tunes, Dews, & Doritos & I'm pretty sure you'd be good to go the 'Long Haul'.
Prob get some 'rag' ink too :thumbsup: . . ....

Pick me up in Jersey Jody.
A little out of the way, I know, but c'mon. I want to go, too. :theresa:

Nice car Jody,

I think you should hot it up some for the tour. Styling...:yes:

Jody, How the heck did you stumble onto something like that? I love those all original low mile cars. Awesome find:thumbsup:

Cool Jan! :D

Pure accident Kurt. Was looking for something cheap and was recalling cars from when I was in high school. Thought of the Maverick (friend had a Grabber with a 302 and 4 speed) and did a search on collectorcartrader.com and found it.

Jody

Nice car Jody,

I had a 70 Impala 4 dr, too bad, but it did have 67K everything was original bought it from the little old lady that bought it new, great car !

I like it.. for some reason it when I look at it, it looks like you..:D

SW

thanks a bunch! :D

That car is awesome - I wanna ride.

I 2nd that! I love it.... :thumbsup:

R.P.

M,,, sounds kind of Gay :rofl:

Great Car!
 

Back in high school I had one of those for a short while, 'cept mine was a 3 speed.

Great Car!

I've seen it in person and touched it.

It is 100% badass.

All it's missing is Grandma's Bingo cards in the glove compartment. :lol:

The thing is super-clean and very original, I was very impressed with it and the level of correctness & preservation. If it were me I'd cut it up and piss off the die hard Maverick guys-- I know they're out there! :wow:

By the way Jody, I know where there's a 4-door '69 Chevelle with 14K original miles on it in minty condition... 2 owner car. I believe it still has the original tires & belts!

Hhmmm..... Personalized license plates: BINGO

Hehe...
but, wow... like everyone said what a clean car!
Oh man, at least drop an EFI 5.0L motor in there!
:D

Last year=Joe Nova
This year=Joe Maverick :thumbsup:

The background looks familiar...kinda like CL's place...

You need to leave the six in there Jody...just turbo it! :thumbsup:

DON'T tell JODY that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or else he will be on Plan C, cause this one will be in pieces too.....

:lol:

I'd roll that until the wheels fell off just the way it is. Bone stock original. VERY COOL.

that will be the plan IF I keep the car. But a stock 6 for the Tour, no time for anything else.

Jody

That's in front of the shop at my house. Thanks for the compliment though, CL has a castle!

Jody

Just add an AOD an you'll get like 100 mpg!
