    That Seattle car is a better deal if you want a v8, but who knows if its really clean and rust free as the 6 cyl. car. If it is then it would be a better buy.

    Back to the 6 cyl. Grabber. It is owned by a guy that has been into mavericks as long as I have been. Actually the trunk spoiler on my car is off of his other maverick, I got to the car being parted out before he bought the whole thing. He has been a member on this board for quite a while and is being very truthful with his ad I'm sure. But if anybody wants a second set of eyes on the car and pics taken that arent from the seller to settle any question you have about it, then I can go do that for you. Let me know by PM if needed.

    No that interior is correct for 71, the wood grain started in 72.

    the wood grain started in 72.

    And I wish they never would have, the comfortweave looks so much better IMO

    I want a 70-73 Maverick

    I've seriously thought about building a serious 6 cyl. we used to race 250 inline 6 chev's. And I now race a dohc 4 cyl for a chevy Colorado. But I think I wasnt the rumble of a v8 for a change. besides what I would want to do to the 6 cyl would make it not very streetable. LOL

    $3500 tops. Too many really nice finished Mav's out there that could be had for less than $7K now. You would be in for close to that once this one was finished.
