    We were looking at that one as well. Wanted something a bit more stock. Something about the quote in the ad "The motor is really set up to make power above 4 grand", that kind of scared us off. Maybe we are just being too picky. For the right price we can get stuff fixed with the extra money.

    yeah, i noticed that too...also, there was some minor rust issues too...but, that shouldn't be too tough...but, i think that i'd rather try for the bb blue mav in vegas if it's doable...:yahoo:

    I'm no expert in worth but that looks like a very well taken care of car. I will say that I paid less for mine but will have to spend more that what he's asking to get it into the shape that one is in.

    $16,000. Well it does look in good shape. I don't think he is asking to much, by the pictures.
    That being said, I don't have that laying around so wouldn't ever be able to buy a car for that much. And putting 14k into what I already bought over next 20 years is easily what I will be doing. So, the question is would you rather buy ANYTHING else for 16k up front, or finance. Or is the maverick your dream car? Only you and your wife can say. I would buy it if I had the money, but I love the maverick/comet.

    FINALLY!!!! Got my wife a Maverick. She's a 73 V8 Auto. No stick shift and no air conditioning but the wife got tired of waiting. I'll post up some pictures after she gets delivered from Oregon, but for now here is the ad:

    Thank you everyone for your advice and help in looking for the car!!! Jeff

    Nice car. Will look real nice with a set of Cragars on it. You can always add a Vintage Air A/C setup to it. will work better then the factory stuff anyways.
