The three of them decided to put the engine and trans out of Lee's box wagon into the Maverick for some real class competition. They made quite an impression on lots of folks. Car Craft did an article on the car and called it the "Texas Suckermaker".

Am I correct in recalling that the Chevy powered R-M-S Maverick had "The Real boss 302" lettered on its sides? Forget what I had for lunch yesterday but think I recall that bit of trivia.
