Something you might of seen in the background of some 70's US cop show. The early 2-door had a little charm, the 4-door and the later thick bumpered versions are instantly forgettable, as are the stats for it. Uncool.

1973 is when environmental regs kicked in huh?

 

[Turbo]

The only thing it has going for it is being better than a Mustang II.

 

[Michelin Man]

Uncool. Much like the Mustang II, saw the beginning of the era of weak "muscle" cars IMO, due to the fuel crisis and concentration on emissions. Partly why it's stupidly large engines can only muster very little HP relative to their size.

Only thing that stops it being seriously uncool is the name Maverick .

1973 is when environmental regs kicked in huh?

That's when they switched from gross to net ratings for power. I'm pretty sure the engines in the Maverick weren't too "hot" to begin with.

 

[UltimateYosh]

Iceman's the cool one.

Uncool

 

[All Your Base]

Uncool, but I do kinda like the 1970-72 Mavericks with the 5.0 liter V8.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I mean, it looks cool. It was also built in Oakville, Ontario too.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Looks nice, but that's about it.

 

[TexRex]

SU...but I'd still take it over a Mustang.

 

[Mike458]

What the hell are those wheels?

SU.

 

[buickgnx88]

What the hell are those wheels?

SU.

If you're talking about the ones in the first picture, they are steel wheels with a large hubcap and trim rings that cover the rest of the wheel.

 

[axletramp]

I know very little about this car, but I'll give it a cool because it's from the 70s and has a funny little face.

 

[The Chosen One]

5.0L V8 - 210hp, 296 lb/ft

This defies the laws of physics entirely.

 

[MoLiEG]

My Dad had one when he was younger.

Cool.

 

[Razor440]

Call me hipster all you want, I voted Sub-Zero because this thing was a proper performance car when opted out with the right specs, and makes up for the small size.

 

[05XR8]

Cool. Even my old Pastor had one.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Meh

 

[Slash]

Cool, always loved these things. Not hard to make fast either.
