It's a monster!


If you're a car enthusiast, you might already be familiar with the Ford Maverick, but not in the way you think. Initially, the Maverick wasn't a small pickup truck; instead, it was an economy car with sharp edges and an undeniable charm from the 1970s. However, one owner, Jimmy Shaw, recently acquired a first-generation 1971 Ford Maverick and embarked on a modification journey that combines modern technology with classic styling. The result is a truly remarkable machine capable of reaching speeds of around 200 miles per hour.

Shaw stumbled upon the car on eBay, with no idea of the extraordinary transformation that awaited it. He took the eBay find to Greening Auto Company, a family-run business, where father and son collaborated to revolutionize the old-school vehicle into something extraordinary. The exterior alone showcases their success, featuring modern LED lights, a fresh paint job, and a sleek appearance that maintains the epic styling loved by many from that era.
