so i have been wanting a different car to drive other then my truck and i saw this 77 4 door pop up on a local add. so i went and looked at it tonight and droped $575 on it. it runs and drives but needs a little work. i'm very happy with it. i'll be going to pick it up on saturday morning. here is the link to the ad.

here is a better rear view pic

 

Cool....and you never know....you might have the last 4 door Maverick of that era, made in North America.

 

it was built in may of 77.

 

yeah very solid car there was a little rust in the rear quarters but very little. the guy i got the car from thought it had 237000 miles on it. the odometer says 23700 miles on it. i think that he was use to newer cars. i'm freakin excited to say the least.

 

It kind of looks like its painted Olive Drab or whatever they call that military color. And it has body color sport mirrors. With the military color and being a big 4 door i saw it should be nicknamed, The Tank.

 

:HandshakeBart it's been awhile your at least one of the few owners of a four door maverick in Utah, I've seen one on this site awhile back but he said he sold it shortly after dropping a 351 in it.

 

yeah i saw that one too he had it on ksl for a while. i really should post on here more often i think i check on this site about 2 or 3 times a day. this will give me a mav to drive until i can get the old comet back on the road.

it has a 250 in it

 

My maverick has 759,403 miles still running no problem

 

yeah it's not a bad optioned car.

 

I know this coments way, way late but about your well optioned car. It had the rarely seen in Utah (For me anyway.) Rear Window Defroster.

 

Very nice! Body looks good. In 1980 I had one like yours, same color. It had the standard side view mirror and full size wheel covers, 250 auto. P/S am radio. It was a '74. I drove it to work everyday for 3 years. It was a good car. Back then I had 2 Mavericks this one and the '74 Grabber. My neighbors and some of my friends and family thought this was a little strange. Maybe I should have bought a Comet. Enjoy you car!

 

yeah rear defrost (that currently doesn't work) i need to fix that and it has wiper delay. i love that option. it has been a fun car to drive around for the last few months.

 

Bart I've seen a four door just like yours a few times on my way home from work parked at the church by Bonneville High school. It looks like it's in great shape driving buy and its the only Maverick other than mine I've seen in years around hear.

 

thats cool yesterday i followed a 77 tan 4 door for about 5 miles on my way home. i see them around the valley from time to time.
