You've probably "heard" this a 1000 times, but enjoy the time you have with your Dad.. it goes by so quickly
I lost my dad back in 09 and a part of me went with him nothing I wouldn't do to have him back he was jack of all trades miss him every day and I still say in talking to people that are having a issue or problem my dad is great at that sorry was great at that don't never no what will happen in life so live and love b greatful for every day
Can verify this for sure
Try to see him at least once a year if you move away
I've tried and tried to tell my son's this very same comment 1000 times, they won't listen and have grown away from me the older they become, now my wife has pancreatic cancer, so it looks like I'm going to be all alone in the near future? I can't make anyone love me but I've tried, I give up.
Ours was a 65 dodge dart sat for 15 years ran like it was two!
Your Dad is incredibly respectful. I've noticed it in a few videos now. He always is super polite and says "yessir" when the sellers ask things. It is also clear that he passed that respectful and polite nature onto yourself too.
Awesome dad :)
Yes, it's a breath of fresh air when you hear men speak like real men should speak. I guarantee you that if you were ever at my house around my parents or their siblings and you as a child spoke and interrupted an adult as they were having any kind of conversation you were going to hear about it at some point later when you were alone with my parents. I never heard my Father or Mother use a curse word when talking to anyone. They may have cursed at some point but it certainly was not around any children-ever! Manners and respect for your elders and your betters were of paramount concern to my Family in general and it extended on both sides of my parents' families. If and when you have no discipline and no upbringing then you cannot learn manners and you certainly cannot pass it down to your children if you have not learned for yourself. I think our cultural respect for others has been almost completely lost to the past few last generations
@@TBullCajunbreadmaker ya definitely be respectful of the people who mean and do good old or young
You know I just started watching and that’s the first thing I noticed and was actually going to comment on how respectful you are that is seriously a breath of fresh air too not hear constant GDam this and that or f bombs I subscribed for that and the awesome content thanks ,
@@thunderstruck5484 i automatically click away from videos with excessive cursing, no matter if the content may be interesting.
I was so happy when I saw that Maverick! I am currently restoring one myself. I feel like they are a forgotten car, much love!
Forgotten cause they're ugly rust buckets. I cringed when they put that floor jack under it, they've been known to completely rust out from the bottom.

This is one of three cars that are responsible for the Mustang still being on the road. During the Oil Crisis in the Seventies, Ford used the Pinto as a Base platform to also make the Maverick and the Mustang two. They all served the purpose of trying to be all cars possible for the brand at the time. The Pinto was used for a cheap version of the Mustang that would have otherwise been discontinued in the last Generation of the car before this had to happen. The Maverick was used as a bigger version and as an utilitarian version of what the Pinto was used for as the Maverick was also offered in a Four-door and a Wagon form like the Pinto. And the Mustang two was positioned to be the Luxury version of the line up.
Im glad this man named Dylan is around, this man saves old cars left out to rot. God bless this man.
You know those fancy shops you see on TV that take a car someone had in their garage and restore it to brand new? I like this better. Finding a junk car and making it run is so more realistic. Keep up the great work.

Had one with 302 and “three on the tree”. I took it to a muffler shop and had dual exhaust installed with Cherry Bomb glass packs which was very popular back then not many other choices. I loved that car. I surely will follow this work.
I love your projects, I love your attention to detail but most of all I love the fact that you spend quality time doing this stuff with your dad, that is so special.
God bless you both. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one.
Omg! I was so happy to see that little Maverick! I had a 1973 Grabber with a 302 V8 and 3 speed on the floor. She could burn rubber and fly down the highway! I loved that car an wish I still had her! She was copper on top and cream color on the bottom. Very sharp and sassy💕
My first new car when I joined the Air Force was a two door 74 Maverick with a 302 V8 and three on the tree. It was green with a white vinyl top.
Gotta love an old Ford straight 6. They're as bullet-proof as it gets.
Pre model year mavericks didn't even have a glovebox
I had a 70' grabber, 170/3spd floor shift, no glove box, power nothing! Looked brand new in 77' orange with black graphics.. 50k miles.. paid $750 dollars for it...

Some Mavericks came with 250 CID six cylinder engines.
A video with very calm and relaxing approach is so refreshing in this era of over drama and instant gratification obsession.
I owned a 1975 maverick bought it new, 250 straight 6 automatic no a/c pb, ps, love that car in Tan Glow metallic
This car brings back many memories for me. I was with my father in August of 1969 when he purchased his 1970 Lime Gold 6 cylinder 3 speed on the tree Maverick. The options were an AM radio a heater and white wall tires. If I remember correctly it cost $2100 and was his first new car. I hope you fix this one up. I'll be looking forward to more videos on this one.
Heck I’d buy A 70 maverick if I could buy a new one for 2100$ 😅
@@Beandiptheredneck Adjusted for inflation that's about $14,000 USD today. Not bad at *all*
I remember the local Ford dealer offering Pintos or Mavericks for $1995 in 71. They had a ton of them, most were out back in a vacant lot.
My dad worked on his cars till he passed away at 83. I didn't think he would ever go and I now wish I spent more time with him.
Lost my grandpa last year miss him every day
I bought the same Maverick off my dad as a kid,I had the 6 in it,standard 3 on the tree,33,ooo original miles.And it was Lime Grabber green! Loved that car!
I have love for Maverick’s now, they’re are very underrated cars!
I had a ‘75 Grabber, back in the late ‘70s. Fun car.
They're great because they were mechanically made from the ford parts bin and there's 4 door versions that are identical in the front which is great for all of the unreproduced interior parts and body parts. The rear of the 4 doors is not identical but is good for patch panels on the 2 doors. Like you said these are really cheap underrated cars that are easy to build.
And don’t forget Mercury’s version of the Maverick, the Comet.
@@SlyDellian my Grabber is a 75 as well.
@@tomikawalker7510 Cool! What color? Mine was orange with black stripes.
Absolutely love Mavericks and I'm not even a ford guy. These cars have been on my bucket list for cars since I was a child. Awesome video as always and thank you so much for posting! 😀👍
Hey nice car great lets get it moving good job ?
That’s impressive how well it runs, I would need to pressure wash it before working on that!
"Brakes, coolant, fuel, donuts." Not every dad is like that. Maybe check the exhaust for wasp carcasses.
Digs had a video about reviving a Bronco...and it shot mouse carcasses out the exhaust!
Great find. Recently bought a loaded ‘70 Maverick from the second owners family who had it since ‘79. Mine was advertised as having a locked motor, but it was just a jammed starter.
Wow! I should have known I would run into you here! You're on your second Maverick this year aren't you? The second one is a nice one! But your daughter will take that one from you unless she likes the Fairmont better but I don't see that happening!
Dont you love it when a plan comes together? Wahooo!
I've always liked Mavericks! such an underrated car! Always had a thing for them since highschool, my best friends sister had one that we would get to ride in on the way to school, it was white with blue interior.....i always wanted it but she would never sell it. I hope we see this on the channel a whole lot more!
Surely it’s got to be James Garner 🙂
Wow, keep going on this Maverick! Ford's are easy to get running after they have been sitting. Would like to see it after it's been cleaned up.
Great video, looking forward to seeing future updates. You and your Dad make a great team, good to see his contribution to your Maverick's resurrection
Kevin from junkyard digs be like, what the hell are you doing with a Ford Maverick 🤣
He like everybody else should be impressed it was started without a single carburetor catching on fire. 😉
"Be Like"?...c'mon man!
Where's Thunderhead 429 when you need'm?
@AllenCajah Playz 🤣🤣
No thats luke how has the maverick
My wife and I owned a green Maverick back in 1970. It was our first car. I was in the Navy at the time and drove round trip Norfolk to Central New Jersey for fifty weekends with only a water pump failure. Good Car.
I'm so happy your doing a maverick man. I have one I've been working on for quite some time. This is amazing!
Thank you for doing this! My dad had a Maverick and it brought back so many memories. These were important cars for Ford and it's too bad they were "disposable" because they were easy to work on and maintain. I look forward to seeing you get it rolling!
This was my first at 16 year old, mine came with 302.. I love this car..❤🙏👍
My first car as well. Dark forest green 1972 Ford Maverick 302 V8 C4 auto transmission 2 bbl. Fast and Rusty and very Trusty Michigan car in 1980. Great memories. Mine also had rare factory rear window defroster. That car would start in the coldest winter mornings. Amazing little car.
That maverick reminds me of the one I had what a remarkable car never left me stranded took me every where I wanted to go it was a hell of a good car thank you for the video Dylan it took me back to some good times👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well it left us stranded.
My 1st car was a 1971 Maverick 250 6cyl, 3 speed on the tree, this brings back memories, Thanks for posting it.
Love it. I had a 71' Maverick I bought for $200. It had 80,000 miles on it, was a six cylinder with a manual "three on the tree" shift. One night the shift column cracked and the shift came off while I was in second gear. I drove it home and bought a three speed Hurst shifter, cut a hole in the floor and installed it. Drove that car for two years with no problems and sold it to some kid. Simple car, easy to work on, very reliable. Would love to find a Grabber with a V8 and a stick...
Dylan, you can't be releasing revival videos when I'm at work. You're ruining my already low productivity 😂
LOL... Low Productivity is till better than the slowest counting voting machines ever.. Lets watch get distracted from the Election. and while child is ON my child is in a Zoom Class for school, learn and watch at the same time...
Me at school
LOL
It's alright man.
You did your best at it
It's called pacing yourself. If you get too much done, someone might think you're management material! God forbid!!!
My dad god rest his soul had a 70 maverick it had a high out put 302 in it it ran real good and fast I have a love for Mavericks and mustangs I can’t wait to see what you all rescue next
Dylan this video means a lot to me because I own a 1970 maverick grabber that my dad pulled out of the woods and my dad did the whole car over mostly by himself, but did get the original engine running and he did donuts and burnouts for his victory. Thanks for the great vid✌️
If possible when you get a chance please turn on the subtitles for viewing. I know most youtubers don't but those with Tinnitus it is a blessing. Thank you.
wanna see the full restoration series of the maverick after you are done building ur challenger that would be a really cool series @Dylan McCool
congratulations Dylan! I really like your videos, this Maverick looks like an incredible project! here in Brazil he is a very difficult classic to find.
I have a 71 Maverick Grabber with a 200ci 6, that's why I started to watch your video. What kept me watching though was how great this video was! Nice job man. This video delivered as you did indeed get it running at the end and you did a GREAT job assessing what potential issues would prevent it from firing up. I also liked your positive attitude about the interiors condition, envisioning its full as-is potential. And like a few others have mentioned it's your calm and polite demeanor throughout that made the video enjoyable. Keep it up!
Use atf rather than oil for the cylinders, it's also a great cleaner and helps to somewhat dissolve the rust in the engine.
I love this thing! I have to admit whenever I see an older car missing it's headlights, to me it looks pretty dead like it's missing it's eyes or something. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress with this thing!
Beautiful Maverick I have a 1974 mercury comet love that body style
I had a Maverick Grabber with the 302 V8 and a 4 speed. Loved that car !
I was 3 in 1993! My dad owned a 4 door Maverick when I was kid. I've always liked them even though I'm a GM guy. Love to own a coupe or a Grabber
That air cleaner toss at the wasps had me DYING
I would run like i am someone who is being chased by a serial killer.
Color on that Maverick should be Canary Yellow .
Back in the late 80s I traded a 72 Ranchero with a 351 Winsor for a 74 Maverick 6 cyl. and a 53 Ford F100 With a 327 chevy and a 4 speed Canary yellow.
Later sold both for a down payment on a house. Whished I kept the 53 F100
I am from Brazil and I am currently 62 years old. when i was younger i had the v8 version of it. that car was the dream of most young people and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to have one, it was incredible
Hello American friends. As an Iranian, I love your hospitality. I came to America in 1978 and made good friends. God bless your life.
"Well I'm gonna put that back" as air cleaner gets shoved away.. that was awesome
@Sigkim hell ya, Derek is hilarious
I'm so excited for this car, the Maverick is my favorite classic.
My first car was a 1972 Grabber in this yellow color with grabber orange highlights. Sadly it was totaled when I was rear ended hard. It had a 302 2 bbl. I added the traditional Holley 4 bbl and Edelbrock Streetmaster intake manifold, Crane cam and hooker headers. It then ran a low 15 second quarter which in the smog choked motor seventies was respectable. Great car, I fit well being 6' 4", I could even ride in it wearing my cowboy hat. I miss that car and wish I still had it. I am cleaning my garage, I have the old motor block, crank and rods/pistons thinking of getting rid of. Sadly, I kept the Grabber spoiler trunk lid and quarter extensions for a while but the are gone now. Nice to see people are restoring these, I have yet to see the color combination I had. Fun car to drive, took a lot of abuse. Replaced it with a 1976 Stallion Maverick which also went to the grave yard. Newer with amenities but not as nice as the 1972, that is the car I still dream about, love those small bumpers.
I have the same engine in my 66 Falcon. Was the same engine in the first gen Mustangs. Used from 66 to 80 something in lots of cars. Very common and easy to get parts for. The first engine I ever tore down was the one before it. Same block, smaller displacement. Don't waste money on points. Mine is still running on the points it came with 4 years ago.
This new project seems it will be interesting like Dodge one. Good job,
LOL. When I saw the title I was like "A FORD? No MOPAR?" lol Actually my uncle had a Maverick and a Chevy Nova that I used to learn how to drive cars when I was a kid and I used to call the Maverick a "Granny Mustang". Nice to see one being rescued. Keep it up!
I just want to say thank you for what you do. It's guys like you that keep these forgotten cars from becoming a junkyard casualty.
Hey Dylan,
My wife (Teresa) and I , down here in Arizona just love watching your car revival videos and have changed what and how watch tv since there is hardly any meaningful content on the major networks. We are greatly impressed at your talent, experience, and expertise at such a young age! You are definitely a 'TV STAR' in our house!
Great job and keep the entertaining and fun show coming!

Me: Looking at the OBS Ford pickup and drooling. Always had a soft spot for those trucks and Broncos.
Those are the only efi trucks I like I’ve had three of them and loved all of them equally you can still actually work on them yourself haha
Same here Robert. I have 2 95's. One a Reg Cab Long Bed 4x4 300 5spd and my "baby" Eddie Bauer Extended Cab 4x4 351 with only 80k original miles. Fav ford truck body style other than the 70's round headlights. The Eddie is in very great shape other than needing an oil pan. Gotta pull the upper intake to do it. Not looking forward to it.
@@JRHINE83 Had a 92 Bronco. Swapped the 302 with an Jasper 351. Swapped the trans for a manual 5 speed. The 302 had 320k miles on it before it finally started losing oil pressure. I had drove that girl hard and it needed a rebuild. But wound up getting a good deal on the 351 and trans. Eventually had to sell her.... Man do I regret it. One day I'll get me another OBS...
I love how you and your dad can work together and get a job done, Dylan. I taught my daughter how to pull wrenches and it's funny because she's a better mechanic than any of the boyfriends she's had!! A hint on these revivals is to NEVER use straight gas! I always mix 2 stroke oil 40:1. It helps lube up the valves and keeps the seats from collapsing
That car brings back memories. My grandmother had one, a '71, that she bought new, and still owned it when she passed away in '93. It wasn't built with AC included, so she had Ford install one of those "under-the-dash" air conditioners...that thing would freeze you out. That straight six was super easy to work on...you could climb into the engine area to change spark plugs.
That first start put a smile on my face. I had a 1974 maverick had a 250 inline 6. It was a great car. Thanks for posting 🙏
I just love seeing old cars come back to life. I cherish those cold nights with my old man where even though I was just a tool handler, we would work on some of the cars that went to my brother and for his work. I never got the chance to work with him on a car of mine. THAT is my biggest regret. We never built a car of my own with my dad.
I hope see more of this maverick!
I love your dad. He is just slower than everybody else. Just the way he moves and talks. Its great
My first Engine rebuild with my dad. I was 17 and it was a 76 Stallion (Maverick SS version thingy) 6 Cyl 3 on the tree. . Turned out it was so rare that I traded it for a 79 Rally Sport 4 speed for a collector.
You should make a series where you bring it back to life like the challenger
Such a beautiful car, I cant believe it's been sitting for ages!
Great Job Guys, My Dad Loves Ford Mavericks, drove one to work for years and years, and had different ones through the years.
Nice!! I picked up a 76 Maverick Stallion a few months ago for restoration. Found a Maverick Comet restoration group on Facebook where you can get patch panels, gaskets, etc.
Swapping in a 96-00 Explorer 8.8 with limited slip is popular. Needs some mods to fit but a worthwhile upgrade.
I'll be watching this one closely.
Here in Brazil this car is very desired, here it was sold with a v8 302 engine ✌️
In the USA/Canada Mavericks came with a variety of the small block inline six and 302 small block V8. The base model in Brazil had a four cylinder motor at least for the first couple years, then I think it got the six. My memory of the line up for Brazil isn't that great. Of course the GT and other higher end sub models got V8s. Brazil's Maverick also had a tach and 4spd available which was not offered in the USA to prevent competition with the Mustang.
WRONG! Mavericks had a limited version with a v8 sold here, but yes it is very sought after. The most popular models sold here (around 108k sold total from 1973-79) were 4 and 6 cylinders inline with underwhelming 79hp and 86hp respectively.
Here to
@@ssenssel Correct here is much easier to find 6 or 4 cylinders than v8 so people in Brazil usually change the engine
In 1971 onward you could get the V8. Only the first year 1970 was it unavailable. Ive owned several.
I always liked these, because I loved the old James Garner show - Maverick. But you with a Ford - makes my head explode!??!
scooped a project maverick last year and now you and thunder have one! looking forward to this series very much.
Love so much this channel! Keep going Dylan, awesome job!!!!
Only a handful of muscle cars came to my country back then, the Maverick was one of the "big three" at the time, they are really sought after today
Brazil?
Great something to distract my mind after almost being arrested for driving a go cart on the road and getting grounded for it. Don’t worry about me I’m fine
My first car was a 1970 Maverick with the straight 6 200 cid. Oh the memories come flooding back. Miss that car so much. Had to give it away when I got shipped over seas to Japan. I would like to find one of these to restore with my son so we can share these memories. Thanks Dylan.
Don't worry Dylan I'm a GM guy and I have a soft spot for those Mavericks too. My grandpa daily drove a white two door straight six when I was a kid; he gave it to my uncle in '99 when he bought a new 4Runner, which he still drives to this day. He gave it to his now ex-fiancé for her daughter to drive (the car hadn't run or been on the road at this point for about 8 years) who sold it to someone for $50 without asking the family if any of us wanted to buy it back. I really wish I would have had the opportunity to own that car to learn how to wrench on, sorry for ranting/rambling can't wait to see the next video on this machine!
Had a friend wrap one of those around a guardrail back in the 80's. How he wasn't seriously injured I'll never know.
I had a friend who rolled one street racing another friend. RIP Jesse, you were a good one.

@@davelewandoski4292 D'oh! LOL
Likewise with "... hopefully this one will run, as that one's full of spiders..." 😅
Spiders. Man they're evil. What kind of spiders were they?
When I was a kid..I went to see some street races. I saw a MAVRICK take off and the front end jumped up! After that I have never looked at em the same. They can be awesome!
Dont own Ford's if ya can't fix'em yourself
Used to be back in the day, you couldn’t look out the window without seeing a Maverick or two going down the street. Now, you have to go to a car show to see one.
I would suggest a long extension hose when airing up very old tires. That way if the tire explodes,you won't be injured.
Why don't you blow up tires then!
Ok Dylan no more hanging around with Kevin and Derek lol they are rubbing off on you (sliding the air cleaner off of the fender to the ground) I was waiting to see if you were going to taste the motor oil 😂 great video man
I will forever have a memory of an all white Maverick like this one a few houses down from my childhood home here in NJ. It was always clean as a whistle and there were ALOT of them on the road back then.
I had a 70 model, neat little car. Glad you are getting this one back on the road.
I for one am a maverick fan have been my whole life.. what's your plans? 5.0 poweglide 9 inch ... that would be kewl
Drop a 289 or a 302 and make a “grabber” clone
My first new car after joining the Air Force was a 74 Maverick. Green with white vinyl top. 302 and manual.
My first car was a 74 Comet with the 250 and automatic. I loved that car so I'm a bit jealous. One thing good about bench seats is they are great on dates. Hello from Houston.
Nicely Done! I'm not at all surprised you got that thing running. I had a '74 Maverick that I treated like a go-cart. I drove that thing everywhere including off-road. Those inline sixes are indestructible - you can't kill 'em! Didn't stop very well with 4 wheel drum brakes, but that little car never quit!
71 mavericks had a 170 cu. in. engine as standard all others were optional.
170 ci what my 1970 had
My Maverick was older than that one it was a 1970 but my did not have the key on the column it had a key on the dash.
Mine would run 80 miles an hour downhill
I love them little cars . One of my frends had on when we was in school. And we wood put like $10.00 in gas. And we wood run all week and weekend too on that. There the best ford car to me that Ford made.
David ... you do realize that when this car was new gas was around 30 cents per gallon so $5 was a full tank.

maverick: an unorthodox or independent-minded person. Basically, saying "I'm different." Cool video! You are an environmentalist if you get that car to live a second life and avoid the junkyard!

That 94 license plate is the license plate i got form my first car when i turned 16 in 96. Cool to see one again. Brought back memories.
See Derek and Kevin are "influencing" you lol
Back in the day Mavericks weren't worth a damn. Now they're cool. Go figure.
I wouldn't say cool, a lot cheaper than most classic cars to buy though. It's attainable for younger people to purchase, unlike your chargers and Chevelles of the world. Also has the unusual factor, hardly anybody saved these things, so it's like seeing a Pacer or Vega.
My very first car back in 1988 was a ‘73 Maverick Grabber with a 302 & a three on the tree that I bought from a buddy of mine in my auto shop class. I’ve loved Maverick’s ever since. 😚😚
