    Looks decent in the pics. Even if it's a part car you should make quite a bit on it. Congratulations.:)

    there was another maverick with a grabber hood for about 600 in your area too not long ago too ...thats a $400 hood

    i think you should think about flipping mavericks and parts..washington is full rusty cars but you could make your money on parts and scrapping metal.. cutting patch panels etc

    id do it but i just dont have the realestate for it.

    Good job, Matt! It looks good cleaned up. Don't forget to throw the VIN into the LIST.

    Great score. I believe I'd save that one since it is a Grabber.

    I think it should be saved too. Take the grabber hood for yourself if you want and sell the car with a flat hood. Let someone restore and enjoy it. It's not that hard to get a title.

    Oh sweet I'll put the vin up when I get a chance! :yup:

    The car has a perfectly clean title. When cars are auctioned off here we just wait for a title in the mail and its all good! no inspections! (y)

    I ended up getting both the hood and spoiler of that Mav your talking about for a heck of a price just last sunday :)

    Most cars in Washington I've ever seen are much more solid then anything east! We dont use salt so they get wet, but not excessively. For example..I've never seen a rusty Maverick fender..EVER. I've scrapped flawless ones cause nobody is in that much need for them :oops: But I hear ya, If i had the land I'd keep em all lol
