Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this rare 1972 Ford Maverick Sprint Edition. The Sprint Edition was a limited run commemorating the 1972 summer Olympics in Munich. Though a number of tasteful upgrades were done on this example, it still houses what is believed to be the original 302 CID V8 engine, C4 automatic transmission, and rear axle housing. The engine has been freshened up with a slightly hotter cam, a 4-barrel carburetor, and a set of performance cylinder heads to put some pep into the Mavericks otherwise unimpressive step. The transmission was given a general overhaul, and the rear axle was changed from a highway gear to a more "all around" radio of a 3.00:1 with a limited slip differential. The interior saw a few changes as well, including the addition of 3 column-mounted gauges in order to keep an eye on the refreshed engines health. The original bench was swapped out in favor of a pair of bucket seats, redone in the correct red, white, and blue color scheme for the Sprint Edition package. Much of this work was done some time ago, but the car still looks incredible. The under hood compartment was recently refreshed with new hoses, starter solenoid, and a few other odds and ends that really make this car pop at shows. As proof, the vehicle has recently wone several awards at local car shows. This rare 1972 Maverick Sprint Edition is likely to be the only one at any car show that you take it to. Don't miss your opportunity to stand out!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
