What a unique car
------ This thread is Archived ------
@inthewoods I was involved with some of the suspension modifications to the Nightrider car. What nobody but people connected with the production knew was that the car that did most of those crazy jumps in the series was actually a Ford Maverick, not a Pontiac Firebird. The Firebird was only used for the closeups. The Maverick body was modified to look like a Firebird. The Maverick was equipped with our Koni double adjustable coil-over racing shocks, $300.00 apiece. The original shocks blew apart every time the car landed from a jump and the studio shop got really tired of replacing a full set of shocks every time the car made a jump, it got kind of expensive.

I never knew that, some of the cars got wasted, and Maverick's were cheaper than 455 Trans Ams. My Dad had a Maverick for a short time.

Yeah, they had about 6 Mavericks and whenever they wrecked one they would bring up another one to replace it. I heard the set of shocks we supplied them made jump after jump and lasted until the show ended. Of course we also had them put much stiffer springs and bump stops on the shock to protect them during a hard landing.
