MITY MAV SELLS AGAIN !!

I am sure many of you followed the building of the MTY MAV by Sugarkukie. I was fortunate to be able to buy the car several years ago, but had to sell it when I was diagnosed with cancer. I sold the car at the Portland, Oregon Mecum Collector Car Auction for $26,500 and thought that was a pretty good price............... well take a look at what happened to MITY MAV. Somehow she ended up back East and was sold by Flemings Ultimate Garage (see link below). I called them and was told the car sold for just under $40,000 ........... wow ........ hard to believe !!

that color jumped out and bit someone I think in a different color the car may not do as well
very beautiful car I remember seeing it when it was just finished I think that car will continue to grow in value as long as its taken care of and kept in pristine condition like it looks in the photos

 

Even though it was a very high end resto I actually think the paint color hurts the value. It is a color that many gearheads wouldn't want.

As was said above it was painted to match a nail polish color.

 

True, but someone who'd buy a car to match nail polish, no doubt has more $$$$ than 99.999% of the average gearheads.

 

I would buy it in that color...Still love that car!!!

 

Well I guess the price in the mavericks are keeping going up ,That will keep the good spirit to take care of this cars...

 

I remember that car from years ago when Terri was first having the Art Morrison 4 link installed - I copied the set up on my own car and figured out a way that she could have the top links above the rear floor and still be able to use her back seat - it turned out that it worked out for her so I was able to do it to mine also - I actually like the color, kind of stabs your eyes out

 

That is a wonderful car....an I am sure it cost more than 40K just in parts. Someone liked the color and got a good deal.

 

thank you for the update on Mity Mav--- wishing I had held on to her-- but you make decisions and have to live with them-- got my kids through college so every little bit helps-- wish I could have sold it for what it sold for now--- live and learn. She was my project and I really enjoyed the build-- wish I could have enjoyed the car more. Again. thanks for the update .. hope you are well..

 

hahaha --- graphic description.. stabs out your eyes.. hahaha

 

Thanks for remembering-- I know it wasn't going to be a hit with everyone--- but I built it for me, not for everyone

 

Thats probably true in the maverick world-- I should have chosen my audience a little better when I built it-- I was hanging out with mustang people who are a little more willing to get wild with their cars. I took a big hit when I sold it- so you can rest assured, I wont be matching any more cars to my nails. I got tired of being beat up on the forums-- very few people give a woman who likes bright colors a chance in the Maverick world. It was a solid build though and I was proud of it.

 

thanks for being a supporter when I built it. It was a tough crowd to please. hahaha.. I appreciate that you always said nice things.

 

I would have been proud to drive it and stand behind any build a person does a build that suits their taste. It's funny you point out that few people give a woman that likes bright colors a chance. I was on the Garage Journal today reading a thread about car shows, they actually touched on the acceptance subject there. A lot of replies cited the know it alls and bashers as a reason for not participating or even attending shows as a spectator. I used to think it was rude to just turn my back and walk until I came to grips with the fact that they were being rude first. Now I'm fine with it and just walk away! Same on the forums, block them and move on.
