    Hi all,

    I've had my Maverick for about 8 years now. Bought it from my neighbors Grandmother who ordered it from the factory in '74. She was 65 at the time, drove it for a few years then fell and broke her hip so she had it put in storage for about 15 years. It had only 40k original miles and still smelled like new and not a scratch on it.

    I love it....it has been my only means of transportation since '96, the year I bought it. I've put 100k miles on it. And a few scratches her and there.

    Everything is original, like the ulpolstry, carpet, paint etc. with little damage.

    I've had some under the hood work done on it, like replacing hoses, radiator, brakes etc.

    I'm not able to work on it myself and I'm finding that I need something bigger to transport my grandkids in.

    Without a picture can anyone give me a ball park figure of what I might be able to get for it.
    Thanks
