1973 Model 12 (Maverick, Coyote)
After the successful debut of the Model 12 models, and four solid years of decent sales, the update to the 91RON standard seemed counterproductive. However Bogliq USA wanted the painful transition to be as short a disruption as possible so the Model 12 wasn’t spared the 91RON axe. Drivetrains were adjusted to minimise the performance degradation felt by the customer, but it would take more than Gamma and BFI could supply to fully negate the losses.

Compared to 1969, the clouds are gathering on the Model 12’s horizon. Performance sapping anti pollution gear has taken the shine off the large sedan, but it’s value for money remains attractive and it’ll still lope along the US interstates with a minimum of fuss…
1973 Model 12 (Coyote)
Anti pollution gear has hit the Coyote hard, with performance reductions across the board. But the adoption of BFI has improved the Coyote’s reliability in day to day operations and each car still accelerates hard, stops well and makes all the right noises!

The horsepower wars were still going strong and the Coyote was not as well equipped as it once was. There was reinforcements on the way so the Coyote just needed to hold out until the cavalry arrived…
