Fordmaverick.com is a longstanding fan site dedicated to the classic 1970s Ford Maverick and Mercury Comet vehicles, offering resources like forums, mechanical articles, photo galleries, event recaps (such as mini meets), memorabilia, and owner stories. It’s not affiliated with Ford Motor Company and appears to have content primarily from the late 1990s to early 2000s, with a focus on modifications, history, and community discussions. Mark Griffith created FordMaverick.com around 1997, and after dealing with many issues in his personal life, turned the website over to Matt Williams. Matt had created a chat room and help many times getting the website up and running.

 Mark Griffith is prominently featured on the site as a key contributor and enthusiast. He authored numerous mechanical articles dated around 1997-1999, providing detailed guides on upgrades and modifications for Mavericks and Comets. Examples include:

• Adding a 302 cubic inch engine (compilation of tips from message boards and personal experience).
• Installing a 351W engine (notes on swaps, though he hadn’t done it himself at the time).
• Adding a T5 transmission (info on compatibility, flywheels, clutches, and user comments from the community).
• Selecting 8-inch rear end gears (personal experiences with ratios like 2:79, 3:55, and 4:11 for different driving needs).
• Choosing headers (specific recommendations for a 1973 302 with manual steering).
• Adding a 5.0 engine (compilation from message boards).

Mark also contributed to articles on other topics like battery relocation. He lived in Liberty, Missouri, and served as the Missouri State Representative for Maverick-related events. He’s mentioned in recaps of mini meets, such as:

• Norwalk, Ohio (2001): His Maverick was photographed alongside others during a magazine photo shoot.
• Iowa (2002): Attended with others, posing for group photos.
• Illinois (2002): Won 3rd place in the 1970-1973 Modified class with his 1973 Ford Maverick.
• Bloomfield (2002): His car was featured in park photos.

In forum archives (from around 2008-2009), he’s referenced in discussions about club elections (nominated or elected as secretary for the Maverick Comet Group) and technical anecdotes, like engine issues. Overall, he appears to be a central figure in the community, possibly involved in site maintenance given the attribution of many pages to him. Mondo-mav This term appears once on the site, in the articles section as a magazine feature titled “Mondo-Mod Maverick – Mustang and Fords (Jan. 2002).” It seems to refer to a heavily modified (“mod”) Maverick vehicle profiled in Mustang & Fords magazine, emphasizing custom or extreme builds. No additional details, photos, or user profiles are directly linked to “Mondo-mav” on the site—it’s listed among other historical articles about Mavericks without further elaboration or a full scan of the piece. “Toymav” (often stylized as TOYMAV or ToyMav) is closely tied to Mark Griffith. It refers to both his 1973 Ford Maverick vehicle and what appears to be his username on the site’s forums. The car, nicknamed TOYMAV, is mentioned in mini meet recaps:

• Illinois (2002): Entered by Mark and Helen Griffith, winning 3rd place in the modified class.
• Bloomfield (2002): Photographed at events alongside other Mavericks.

In forum archives (2008-2010), ToyMav is an active username participating in discussions, such as:

• Responding to new member introductions (“Howdy new guy!”).
• Commenting on plastic model Mavericks (mentioning owning one from eBay).
• References to his car’s performance, like pulling studs from the engine during hard acceleration without major damage.
