Hot Wheels Wiki says - Mighty Maverick was introduced in the 1970 Hot Wheels line-up. Based on the 1969 Ford Maverick with a lot more flare, the model sported such features as a V8 motor under the hood which was not offered in the real Ford Maverick until two years later in 1971, as well as "nose-down" suspension setup and a massive rear spoiler to give the car a drag-ready appearance.
It was originally named 'Mad Maverick' during the prototype and pre-production stages. A few models exist with the 'Mad Maverick' name on the base and are very rare. According to one source, five such models are known to exist - two blue, one red, one purple, and one with no paint that was never assembled. All five are believed to be in private collections and are considered nearly priceless. The name was changed due to Johnny Lightning having a Ford Maverick also named 'Mad Maverick'. 
It was manufactured in both the USA and Hong Kong and released with a large plastic wing on the rear and an opening hood and were packaged with a metal 'Collector's Button'. USA cars came with a wide printed white stripe on the roof, clear glass and an all-black grille, while Hong Kong cars had a thin sticker white stripe, blue glass and a black grille with silver headlights. Some USA cars have been found with a black stripe, though these may possibly be pre-production cars. Some Hong Kong cars in Orange and Copper came with brown rear wings and interiors, these are very hard-to-find. Some Hong Kong cars also came with a matte-black painted roof with the white stripe applied over the top. 
The rear wing is often missing, and such has been accurately reproduced. Collectors commonly state that the rear wing of the Hong Kong cars was made of a more brittle plastic and is more likely to be missing.
The Mighty Maverick was produced in Mexico by CIPSA and is one of the most common CIPSA cars.
The 1973 Street Snorter is a retooled version of the Mighty Maverick, as with most 1973 models cost saving methods were used in the retooling. The rear wing was removed and the spectraflame paint was replaced with enamel paint, though the hood still opened. Capped redline wheels were used on the rear and open axle redlines in the front.
In 1973, the wing was removed and the car was renamed Street Snorter and in 1975 it returned to the Mighty Maverick name, still without the wing.
Reintroduced into the line-up in 1975. The Mighty Maverick a re-issue of the Mighty Maverick (1970). Missing the rear wing like it's cousin the '73 Street Snorter. Still giving you that feeling that it was quick out of the hole and a strong 1/4 mile run look, with the bulged hood, short stance. Just missing the wheelie-bars. Hood cast shut. In 2004, the Mighty Maverick was re-tooled as part of the HotWheelsCollectors.com Real Riders Series.
