The Ford Maverick is a compact car manufactured and marketed by Ford for model years 1970-1977 in the United States, originally as a two-door sedan employing a rear-wheel drive platform original to the 1960 Falcon - and subsequently as a four-door sedan on the same platform. The Maverick replaced the Falcon in most of the world, but Australia kept selling and developing the Falcon.
The Maverick was also manufactured in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and, from 1973 to 1979, in Brazil.
The name "maverick" was derived from the word for unbranded range animals, and the car's nameplate was stylized to resemble the head of Longhorn cattle.
Initially available only as a two-door sedan, early models lacked a glove compartment, which was added during the model year 1973 (early 1973 models still lacked a glove compartment). A four-door sedan on a 109.9-inch (2.791 m) wheelbase was introduced for 1971.[16]
At introduction, exterior paint colors were named with puns, including "Anti-Establish Mint", "Hulla Blue", "Original Cinnamon", "Freudian Gilt", and "Thanks Vermillion" - along with more typical names including black jade, champagne gold, gulfstream aqua, meadowlark yellow, Brittany blue, lime gold, Dresden blue, raven black, Wimbledon white, and candyapple red. Ford's Lee Iacocca reported that the pun-names had been sent to him by a friend, who also supplied others not chosen by Iacocca: "Goodclean Fawn," "Down Umber" and "Mickey Moss."[17]
In the first half of production for the 1970 model, two engine options were available, a 105 hp (78 kW) 170 cu in (2,800 cc) straight-six and a 120 hp (89 kW) 200 cu in (3,300 cc) straight-six. A 250 cu in (4,100 cc) straight-six was added mid-year.
For the 1970 model only the 170 cu in (2,800 cc) straight-six had an option for a 3 speed semi-automatic gearbox.[18]
Commercials and advertising compared the Maverick, at $1,995, to the smaller Volkswagen Beetle, which was about $500 less.[11][19] The Pinto was later Ford's primary competitor to the Beetle in the subcompact class, while also competing in that segment with the Chevrolet Vega, AMC Gremlin, Toyota Corolla and Datsun 1200 subcompacts new to the market at that time.

Maybe a Moonshine car in the color of Satin Black.
Very cool...
Do they still make this model?....where would I find it?
From my experience MPC seems to be the best quality kits. The parts seem like much higher quality than others.
This is one of the best kits I've put together yet, fit and finish wise. It's an EXCELLENT kit.
Is that just soapy water your brushing on the right before you put the decal on?
Turned out real nice! As do all your builds! That finish on the body just with the floor polish is superb!
We’ve had ours for a few years now. Sometimes it doesn’t want to turn on. Could the switch be the problem?
Does anyone know when the first molded model kit came out and what was it
When I was a kid I loved the chrome now I’m in my 40s I hate the chrome
Odd you said there's hundreds of kits out there you haven't built!!!! I bought the Revell 68' himi dart 2 in 1 kit today. Was looking for your build of this kit. I take it you haven't built it. Oh well it happens. 🙂
That is a truly awesome color! Sorry to get off subject, but do, or perhaps know anyone that might have or make side view mirrors for the 67-69 Chevrolets? Camaro, Chevelle, Impalas? I’m building a 67 Camaro and I’ve searched all I know how, but I’m not familiar with enough builders to know who really to ask. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
When that happens to me, I cut the metal axle in half and stick it in from both sides of the rear end. 1:14:44

Need a 4 door
👍🏁🏁👍
pretty excited myself to get this build underway and now i got a video i can reference if i get stuck. wish me luck its the first one since ive been an adult and well we all know how they went as kids hahaha
Can you clear coat them?
you are helping decide what to use to paint an r2 d2 dome :)
I had a 92 f -150xlt long Ed and a v8 midnight blue just under doors height with kinda rally blue over the rest of the body. Was a solid great running truck paid 3000.00 for it and sold it to my late brother in law for 2650.00 I believe in 2022 b 4 his passing
What glue do you use?
Buying 2 (many 😆). Gonna build 1 each to eliminate the grief of swapping things around. Round 2 will be happy. Many thanx Chris 👍👍
I want the real full scale 1972 F-250. Putting money aside to restore one in few years.
This kit has a fascinating concept; MPC and some of the other companies were very innovative in the old days. I remember a schoolmate of mine, who passed away many years ago, and his dad who was a mechanic used to drag race a red Maverick they called The Eliminator.
Nice! Now turn it into rc
Awesome build as always! Good looking truck and I like your paint choices for the chassis, engine, etc. I also have the Revell 66 Malibu flip nose and I think it would look great painted up like your 53
What the hell time did you put the tires on?
I know this old, but would love to know how to get mine to spray water. It has never worked right from the beginning. Thanks
Did you notice that AMT is providing extras for the tiny parts, like lenses? I assume they are thinking about us "five thumbs" builders who lose those parts easily? Thank you Round2!
Nice work. Do you build on consignment?
Thanks for your build, I just got the kit. Your great.
Built this kit back when it first came out. A bit fiddly but we expected that back then! We just powered through! No Tamiya kits that you could just shake the box and it just built itself.
i have a 57' Chrysler 300c AMT ( ERTL ) Stock Model Kit licensed 1999 i will be building in the future ... Awesome job Bud
That’s a kit you build one way or the other and leave it alone lol, thanks Chris another great video.
It's interesting you no longer use the drill and socket to scuff the tires, that's one of your tips I picked up on a few years back.
I still do, but if the fit on the wheel is a bit loose I use the sanding sponge so that I don't stretch the tire too much.
So, how did you get the masking right as far as the angle goes on the stripes on the hood to match the angle of the decal?? Like if you don't get the "point" angle right it won't line up with the decal? Did you just measure the width of the hood and make a point right in the center to for angle? I'm not sure if what I'm asking is exactly clear. It's the best way i can think to say it.
Very impressive, I wasn't too convinced but now watching the details just caught my attention again. Also.. seeing it over your FJ's hood, it looks bigger to be a 1/24th scale model, looks more like a 1/18, so I think it just completes my decision of getting one!
Great build as always Chris.
I would definitely buy two kits so I can have one of each version 👍👍
I built the previous reissue of this kit. Just built the altered version and filled all the fender seams. Fun kit to build.
I can't wait to get this kit. Thanks for another fun video, Chris.
Hmmm. That doesn't look like a skill level 2 build to me. More like a 4 or 5.
I'm glad you partner with these model vendors and bang these builds out in a way that the average builder like me have a chance to replicate these models...
I really enjoy the builds, but we need a figure model build.
What glue do you use?
Plastruct Bondene is my personal favorite. Modelroundup.com sells it by the bottle or case.
Nice job, I remember guys putting V8’s in those cars and jacking up the back with L 60’s😮
A little spindley, HUH.😊
Nice details,good job.
Nice build Chris! You could build two, that's a good point! 😎👍
Fun fact: Ohio George (R.I.P.) never raced the 1:1 car. He only built it because MPC paid him to do so. George's car looked completely different from the kit _ for one thing, it didn't have the massive hood scoop _ which leads me to believe that MPC designed and tooled the kit before George had built the 1:1.
Turns out that huge scoop acted as a huge air brake. George changed to a more standard surround for the blower scoop. Living in Ohio, the only time we actually saw this car was at Autorama shows. He quickly experimented with a turbo alcohol funny car Maverick, it too became a show car. The Mustang turbo gasser was his constant ride at national events.
