That thing is for 1 Bic lighter, always seems to stay in there no matter how much of an idiot I drive like.

For real my Shelby Maverick in my profile pic had a Cobra right there in the middle of the dash like that! Wish I had a pic of it. Wish I still had it!

I never even saw a Shelby Maverick. Must have used the 302. Bet it was a rocket.

The only real ones were made in Mexico. Mine was a clone, and a funky one at that. I bought it with the badges, so I yanked the 2bbl 302 and dropped in a George Montgomery built roller short block with a Ford X-cam, then topped it with AFR 185 heads, Air gap intake and a 650 Demon with no choke horn. I left the gears stock but put in a TCI C4. It took off pretty tame and then got nuts once it overcame the gearing. Power breaking it would get a burnout about 120ft once you let off the brakes. It was indeed a rocket.

The real Shelbys were a little less so, they had a 302 but being Mexican had 1970ish power levels and high nickel blocks all through the 70s. So they had around 200hp In a 3000 lb car. Which makes it fairly comparable to the EB Maverick. Here is what is reported to be a original example when new. Curiously it appears to have a Comet grill and hood.

Oh, and the "faux" CD slot underneath. Did we really need a faux CD slot to make some of us feel old as dirt since CD players are a thing of the past in cars... Except Subarus of course; some still have them. My wife just bought a new one and it still has a CD player. Haaaa...
Would love a CD player to play my massive CD collection.

Those early Mexican blocks, while still 2-bolt mains, had extra material around the main caps and were a little stronger than the standard factory low deck blocks.... In terms of strength, they were somewhere between the factory standard 2-bolt block and the factory Boss 302 4-bolt main blocks.
