Ford Maverick: If in US were just another car, a lil better option than the Pinto, in Brazil was considered a “Muscle Car”.

In the 70’s, the brazilian market was (and still is) dominated mostly by small cars from VW and FIat. Anything bigger than a Beetle and its varations were for the people with loads of money in the pocket.

The Maverick was the second most expensive car on Ford line up at the time, behind only the Ford Galaxie. The most desirable version was the GT (photo) with the gigant V8 302, at least for the local standarts.
