1976 Ford Maverick

Ford Maverick (1970–1977) was a rear-wheel-drive compact car introduced in 1969 for the 1970 model year, designed to replace the Falcon. Available primarily as a two-door sedan (later also as a four-door), it came with various engines—from inline-six powerplants to the 302 Windsor V8. Production took place across North America and Latin America

Maverick is still the simple machine.

Simple to drive, park and service. The dependable compact you can count on. That’s what makes Maverick such an honest value. It’s a tough, experienced car backed by millions of owner-driven miles and seven years of honing and refining.

Two basic models: a 2-Door and 4-Door Sedan. Both are powered by a dependable 200 CID Six engine. t (A 250 CID Six and 302 V-8 also available.) And although Maverick is smaller and priced less, you get the same number of important Lifeguard Design Safety Features found in our bigger Fords: Safety-designed roof structure, steel guard rail in side doors-all the rest.
