    Back in 88, I made a pest of myself trying to buy this 70 from a friend that had it sitting in his yard for a few years.

    A year goes by, after I simply stopped asking him about buying it, and he comes down to the garage that I worked at and asked me if I was still interested. I told him "yes" and asked him "how much?".

    He said "just come over and get it out of my yard".

    Price was right: $0.00 :dance:

    I paid my friend $800 for my 302 Sprint. Neither of us had any idea of its value and neither of us wanted to rip off the other. After I found this forum, learned what Mavs were selling for, and found all the rust it had, I'm thinking $500 would have been fair. But, we're both OK with the price :Handshake and the $300 difference will be a small part of the total invested.:rolleyes:

    Thanks,I think the black tones down the white engine bay,makes it all look subtle and crisp at the same time...

    These are some pictures of the mav when I was pullin her home, and a few of the process as it unfolded and last but not least there are a coulpe of the finished product. The sidepipes are removed now, and I have Flowmasters in thier place. The only other thing I have changed are the valve covers they are now a black and pollished fin type... looks good... oh yeah and cragars have been installed deep dish in the rear. THANKS FOR LOOKING..
