What did you pay for your Mav or Comet

$1895..... in 1973.

 

I bought my 74 250 I6 for $1500 in good running shape in 2010.

 

4000... i talked him down from 5500. But due to that fact it was a survivor, with original everything, 54000 miles, and no rust... Redone baby blue paint job,

It seems i paid alot for it, but i love it

 

Yeah right. I paid 5000 with mostly original paint then stripped it. Rust free cars get pricy the further North you go. SVOPRO(2 owners ago) did a great job on the drivetrain though. Still runs strong.

 

$750 just this afternoon... Already can't wait to clean 'er up and drive 'er HARD. Gotta do registration, hoses, interior...

73 maverick

traded a tarus i gave 200 bucks 4 20 grand on rebuild trans rebuilt guy wanted 600 traded car and he gave me 100 boot

 

Paid $600 for the 74' grabber back in 2005 and jamie fixed it up. Wouldn't have graduated high school without that car.

 

Today I paid more for a used set of wheels and tires than I paid for my Mav.

 

i paid 4400, but its sure as hell costing me an arm and a leg to keep it running
