The big question left to be answered, then, is what sort of engine might power our imaginary Maverick ST? The natural choice would be Ford’s 2.3L EcoBoost I-4, which is already used in another FoMoCo vehicle underpinned by the C2 platform – the Lincoln Corsair. It’s similar to the Ford F-150 ST we rendered some time ago, in many regards.

That means a suspension tuned for street performance, bigger wheels and stickier tires, blacked-out trim for a more sinister appearance, and of course, red ST badges.

Thus, we created these Ford Maverick ST renderings using the same formula applied to existing ST models.

Thus, it would make perfect sense to expand those offerings with a Maverick ST, especially since Ford CEO Jim Farley recently expressed his desire to see the Maverick grow into a family of its own one day, just as the Ford Bronco and Ford Mustang already have. The base Maverick’s rear twist-beam suspension even shares its Force Vectoring Springs with the Ford Fiesta ST hot hatch, as Ford Authority recently reported.įord has already shown a willingness to build high-performance variants of some of its crossovers as well, including the Ford Edge ST and Ford Explorer ST. For starters, the Maverick is built on the Ford C2 platform, which is a front-wheel-drive, unibody base, meaning that it straddles the line between a car and a truck. Thus, that had us wondering – what if the automaker decided to build a more performance-oriented Ford Maverick ST?Ī high-performance Ford Maverick ST makes sense for a number of reasons. But for now, at least, Ford isn’t offering much in the way of performance, with its range-topping 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 delivering a targeted 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. I'll work with whomever you choose.When the 2022 Ford Maverick was revealed earlier this week, it raised a lot of eyebrows thanks to its impressive fuel economy figures, standard hybrid drivetrain, and bargain-basement price tag. Hoping to sell it to someone who can either restore it the rest of the way and enjoy it.īuyer is responsible for arranging pick-up and all the charges that entails. The engine cavity does have some rust through to the wheel wells, but the shock towers are solid. These were added to increase the Horsepower of the 70's era power plant. The engine is the V8 302, modified with a better carburetor, racing cam, valves and valve covers and ignition system. Underneath, the previous owners added some ladders in the rear.

The exterior is rust free and the car was treated with Ziebart rust prevention. The seat wheels are secure and not rusted through. The roof fabric is good, attached, not sagging.

Its a true 1973 Ford Maverick Grabber in two tone Red and Black, with all Black interior with bench seats front and back. It's in good shape considering its over 40 years old.
