00:00I found this little car on eBay.
00:05I never would have thought it would have turned out this way.
00:08I've never seen another match.
00:10I never quite like this one.
00:15I've owned probably about two or three.
00:20I've never seen a lot of cars.
00:21To me, but a hot rod is old school and new school.
00:24I love and enjoy it.
00:25And this 1971 Ford is the perfect blend.
00:30Of past and present.
00:32You're taking something and making it your own.
00:35It's a Maverick.
00:36I mean, when's the last time you saw a Maverick done?
00:38I've never seen another Maverick.
00:40It doesn't work quite like this one.
00:41It started out probably about five or six years ago.
00:45I found this little car on eBay.
00:47And then I got to thinking, I've always wanted to run two.
00:50200 miles an hour.
00:51So I said, let's build a car that would do that.
00:53To make his dream reality.
00:55Jimmy employed the services of father and son duo.
01:00This Maverick ranks very high with all the builds that we've done over the years.
01:05On this car, comparing it to the original from the fender flares up.
01:10On the car is basically untouched Ford sheet metal and trim around the top.
01:15The lines looked great and we still wanted people to be able to recognize the car and
01:19it not look like something.
01:20We still wanted it to be a Maverick.
01:22Then from there down, it's all been heavily modified.
01:25Probably the best part about the car to me is the flares on the fenders.
01:30It looks...
01:30It looks so good.
01:31It's not out of place.
01:32It doesn't look gawky.
01:33And it's a simple change.
01:35Today, the Mavericks at the Good Guys show in Columbus, Ohio.
01:40Inside, we have the race pack for your speedometer, all your gauges.
01:44We have the...
01:45race seats.
01:46We have the road cage.
01:47To be safe, we have quarter inch.
01:50Metal.
01:51It's been able to make the tunnel.
01:53That way, we have a transmission explosion.
01:55When the drive shaft comes loose, I'm safe in the car.
01:58I'm too old to have problems.
02:00The car's top speed so far has been 202.7 mile an hour.
02:05This one's just kind of been nudged out there a little farther as far as what it can do.
02:10Nudged out, you say?
02:12I think that may be somewhat of an...
02:15Understatement.
02:20They're gonna judge it on how the handle's out there.
02:25Understatement, of course.
02:26They want you to drive the cars.
02:30They want you to use...
02:35Use it and abuse it.
02:40It felt good.
02:41If we could have run...
02:45Made a few more passes.
02:46I think we could have kept picking it up.
02:48And Jimmy loves showing off.
02:50His unique machine.
02:51Oh man, we've had so many compliments.
02:55You still have a lot of people come and say, what is that?
02:57You know, they don't realize it's a maverick.
02:59They kind of like...
03:00Man, no one's ever done a maverick like this before.
03:02He made a car perform and look good.
03:05His build qualities are phenomenal.
03:07His attention to detail is unmatched.
03:09And...
03:10And the car goes over 200 miles an hour.
03:12So, I mean...
03:13Not a lot of people can say that with a build like that.
03:15This car is right there at the top of my list of all my cars right now.
03:19It's so different.
03:20It's something that I never would have thought it would have turned out this way.
03:25The нал in the surface, too.
03:26Aren't you going to go back?
03:27Who knows?
03:28And there...
03:29There's no rain ticker at the top of my list,atin' that.
03:30Bring us water
03:31The alcantarami dung.
03:32We'll get our own Absperettu.
03:33That'd fall into long a list of flats...
03:35We'll all keep up for a good place.
03:37Let's run through the fort
03:42We'll get back after that swarm capabilities.
03:45We'll get back into the bathroom...
03:47armor to offer your arms.
