Your call. A '75-'78 Mustang II with a 302, or a '71-whatever Maverick Grabber with a 302.

I say Maverick. Much better looking.

 

i would like an older maverick .. i`d take the 351 5 speed from the pinto and put in it .

 

Did you even have to ask?

Mustang II all the way. Looks are subjective but I personally like II's more than Mavs. You can fit the tall deck windsor and a T-5 in it also, so drivetrain issues are a non issue.

 

. . . little tougher choice for me as I am a BIG Maverick fan!!

That's a pretty sweet lookin maverick, but I don't think that can top my love of the II

 

I'd have to say the Mav it's a much better sleeper.

 

I'll go with the II as well, simply for looks. Although I may have to shoot myself in the morning...

 

I'd have to go with the II.

 

71's much stronger then 74+, Maverick Personally I'd take a Falcon convertible to hop up for an off-beat mid-power hotrod that won't break the bank.

 

Over

 

I think the Maverick is a little better looking.
And as for performance...
I'll never forget this one guy with a bone stock brand new '77 Cobra.
He floored it out of the parking lot at work and actually got it to chirp the rear tires for a millisecond.
My '72 Celica could lay a better patch.

 

way to pit a lowly version of the II next to a nice mav Evry_Mn.

Lets see if we can't find some more fair examples then




between the two you showed though, I do like the maverick better, but I can't stop lusting for these hot IIs

 

They look like horrible '70s ricer-hot rods.

All they need is fake sidepipes and fuzzy dice. Oh, and I man with sideburns and a large mustache behind thee wheel. Wearing bellbottoms.

As my dad said, "The worst part of the '70s- disco, not punk."

 

Rice? I can get not diggin em that much but rice? wheres that coming from

 

Agreed!

 

Having had both I`ll go with the Maverick, The Mustang II was the worst vehicle I ever owned, 13 inch wheels were only the begining. Wish I could go back and build a Maverick with todays technology. Back then I had the 302, sig erson cam, edlebrock intake, holley 4 bbl with hooker headers and thrush mufflers. 3.50 gears with a close ratio top loader 4 spd, hurst shift. 7 and 8 X 14 inch Cragars topped it off. I had the factory highback bucket seats same as the 70 Mustang.

 

Every mn you are getting pretty hostile about other peoples choices here even though you said it was our call at the beginning.

The II just looks better then the mavrick.

 

which has the better resale value? because i dont really care for either one of them.

 

IIs all the way. All things being equil, the cars are pretty much the same performance wise. The 302 Maverik was no faster than the Cobra II with the 302. I believe the engines were identical. About 140hp. There are some nice examples of Mavs on here, but I went with the IIs.

 

I'd take the II especially if it's a Cobra II, Mach 1, or T-top fastback.
