Highest offer you have recieved on your maverick?

A how shall I say it very polite drug dealer(I assumed but i'm pretty sure yahad to be there) offered me $7500 I politley turned him down but feigned interest in selling to him if I were to sell it......lets just say I was a bit uncomfortable surrounded by his "gang" I stood out like a salt shaker on the pepper rack

 

the parts guy at checker offered me $1000 the first time i went in to get something for it. now i wonder, after all this work will anyone be interested in it. cant sit still to long on one car!

 

I had a very similar situation at a car show I had entered. A guy kept asking me how much I would take for the car. I just kept telling him it wasn't for sale. He insisted...oh yeah...anything can be bought...everybody has a price!!! Just throw something at me! I finally got tired of his b/s and told him $30,000. Then he started to scare me when he and his buddy started looking the car over real close! I got to thinking...DAMN!!! I guess if this dude comes up with $30 grand I better get ready to build me another car! He finally just shook my hand and said he might be getting back with me later. Never heard from him so I still figure he was all b/s. Oh well, made for an interesting day anyway.

 

When I bought my car in 1975 I immediately began doing things to it. A guy here in town was in high school at that time, heck, I had just graduated. He has always loved my car. Also, he has always asked me how much? The standard answer from me is it isnt for sale, thanks. About 5 years ago the guy had made some real dough on buying and selling a few different cars. He had 34 grand burning a hole in his pocket and waved it in my face. I gave him my standard answer, he laughed and said that it must not really be for sale at any price, he is right.

 

took mine to an auction. price went to 6500.00, as you can see i still have it.

 

standard lol

 

$127,000. Of course, I rejected it immediately. I just told him go right ahead and try and build it for that.

 

Was offered $7,500 for my blue '71 and turned it down. Told him he's about a grand short...

Was offered $3,500 for my '73 4dr some yrs back and turned it down (it's not for sale for any amount)

 

$2,000. Also had a guy that wanted to trade my Comet for his 93 Mustang GT that had one of the worst knocks I have EVER heard in my life.

 

I havent had many offers yet , but when I first got mine I had a guy want it, I told him 5k then, wich was a grand more than I had in it... kinda glad he didn't bite , around here its too hard to find a solid car to start with.

 

usually people ask me how much. but one day a guy (that i always see at cars shows with high dollar cars and speak to sometimes) came up to me and said "will you take 20k for it!" i blinked! almost shocked. but i said it wasn't for sale. damn i should have sold it and made two of them! lol!

 

was at WalMart today, a kid I know that works there asked me if I was ready to sell him my car yet. I asked him how much he was offering and he told me $2000. I told him no. Then he says, "what did you pay for it, $1800" I told him I paid 2500 then he offered me 3200.

 

Over all of the years I owned mine I have had several people want to know "How Much for you to just go ahead and sell it to me" I learned a longtime ago the correct answer is:

"For what I`d have to get to let this one go...you could buy TWO of them that are nicer!"


I have never been a wealthy man at all , but my car is just one of those things I don`t think I could EVER be comfortable with selling. After owning it for 27 years, I think that no matter how much I got for it ,eventually I would really regret letting it go.

 

That is cuz your car kicks ass and I am printing pics of it as I type to hang up for inspiration

 

Since everyone here pretty much would say no to most dollar amounts, how much would you guys be willing to sell it for?
