📜 History of the 1974 Ford Maverick GT (Brazilian Version)

The Ford Maverick was introduced in Brazil in 1973, during a period when American-style cars strongly influenced the Brazilian market. Based on the U.S. Ford Maverick, the Brazilian version was adapted to local production realities, fuel quality, and consumer preferences.

At the time, Brazil had very few true performance-oriented cars, and the Maverick quickly stood out for its muscular design, rear-wheel drive layout, and strong engines. It became one of the most desirable mid-size cars of the 1970s.

🔥 The Maverick GT (1974)

The GT (Gran Turismo) version represented the sportiest trim level available in 1974.

Key characteristics:
• Rear-wheel drive (RWD)
• Sporty suspension setup for the era
• Bold exterior stripes and GT badging
• More aggressive interior styling compared to standard models

⚙️ Engines (Brazilian Market)

Unlike the U.S., Brazil did not receive factory V8 engines.

Common engines in 1974:
• Inline-6 3.0L (approx. 199 cu in) – the most iconic Brazilian Maverick engine
• Some earlier or base versions used smaller engines, but the 6-cylinder GT is the most sought after today

The engine was known more for torque and durability than high-revving performance, making it well-suited for Brazilian roads.

🏁 Legacy in Brazil
• The Maverick GT became a symbol of status and performance
• Popular in motorsports and street racing culture in the 1970s
• Today, it is a highly collectible Brazilian classic
• Well-restored examples are valued both in Brazil and internationally
