The Ford Maverick was introduced on April 1969 and was based on the same platform as the Falcon. As the Falcon phased out in the 1970's the Maverick stepped in as Ford’s compact car and sold over half a million in its first model year. By mid 1970 Ford introduced the Maverick Grabber with special exterior trim and a two-barrel 302 V8, helping it become an affordable muscle car until 1975. The Maverick continued on until 1977 and has been widely seen as a reliable classic car.
