    $3000 is not a little pricey for Rust free Arizona cars. I assume they are?? :huh:

    Good deal on that 70!
    Nice driver.

    Edit:
    Btw, how exactly does a semi-auto C4 work???
    I have heard of them, but never driven one.
    I have always wondered what was semiautomatic about them. :huh:

    Am going today to pick up the 70 as the lady has been out of town. Will post pics after I get it home. Pretty excited about this one. Season's Greeting to all, and again, thanks for all your help and advice.

    Great deal JLB...I'd be jumping all over that car for $1500 too. Rust free is worth a lot of money if you ask a body man. If you go buy a car with rust in it, you'll spend over $1500 alone in just getting rid of the rust and it most likely will be back. You might get rid of the visible rust but there is generally a lot of hidden rust that you don't know about that will probably pop up in other areas.

    Good find!!! (y)

    Here are some of the pics. Interior is amazing with the exception of a tear in the bench. One small ding on the back truck lid which should be an easy repair.

    The only part of that 72 that is still 72 is the body and rear end. It's got a part from every year Maverick excecpt 77 in the drivetrain. It's got pieces from a Honda, Chevy, and various other old Ford's in it. It's got 5 lug front wheels and 4 lug rear wheels. Mustang brakes on the front. It's so mixed up. But it goes up and down the road just fine. :rofl2:

    I kinda just put the best of every car/truck/van I own together in a Maverick body and came up with that red car when I was finished. :rolleyes:
