    I'm not into the models, but for those of you that are:

    The listing reads:
    1-0740-225. "Ohio" George Montgomery's MULTI-MAVERICK". The World's first combination Gasser and Altered. 1:25. original 1970 issue. 1970 Ford body molded in white. GMC Blower; injector scoop; racing headers; 429 Semi Hemi engine. parts are mint but all parts have been removed from the trees! we have gone thought the parts and tried to do a complete piece by piece check. we are very confident that it is 99.9% to 100% complete. if anything is missing; it would be very small or minor. box is excellent plus. 100.00​

    They also had another one that apparently had sold:

    I used to have a dinky toy like that when I was a young pup! It was green though with no stickers..I always thought it was a pinto funny car but now I'm not so sure! Might still have it somewhere although I haven't seen it in for many years

    Sure wish I could find a Maverick model body. I'm into slot cars now and that's what is used for most. "Somewhere" I have a Pinto funny car body.

    I want one made from plastic, not GOLD! Crooks! I just need and old body, no interior. I have found resin bodies, 2 and 4 door, funny cars, ect. About $30.00 each. I'll keep watching the auction site, might get lucky, thanks for the link.

    I built a lot of models as a kid and Revells were one of the worst brands... bad fit, weak detail, lots of casting flash. MPCs were a notch better, but AMTs were my favorite to build ... very good detail, molded crisply, and rarely any fitment problems.
