    ive always wanted my moms 77 maverick. She bought it from an old lady who used it to get groceries and then quit driving it. It only had 30,000 miles on it when she bought it and now I bought it from her with only 33k on it. its my first old car ive ever bought and i fell in love with it six years ago and now it mine. Its almost mint, has a couple spots of surface rust, the interior is 100% mint, should be fun, i hope to keep posting

    I just brought the car home today, had to tow it the brake lines were rusted and blew out when i tried to move it, so i will be taking some pictures tonight ill try to figure out how to load em on here tommorow.

    I am from Beaver county, pennsylvania. Real close to pittsburgh.

    Is a $1000 a decent buy on it? I thought i really lucked out.

    i'd say you did pretty good if it only has a few things to fix and the interior is near mint. good luck and welcome to the board.:)
