    Your asking $1200 and he is asking $3500. I would trade if i were you.

    but, is his worth that much is what I mean? Ive seen people asking $5000 for cars only worth 1200

    also my luck Id end up with a car hauler that nobody would buy, probly why he has it and cant get rid of it

    A Maverick isn't a big seller either, your just jumping from the frying pan, into the fire. Cars & Trucks are only worth what someone is willing to pay.

    He says SINCE THIS PHOTO BODY & ALL OTHER IRON HAVE BEEN REDONE
    BODY AND WHEELS REDONE
    ask how and about floor pans and pics before and after if possible,The body didnt look like it really needed redone just painted.Sounds like quite a bit invested in the engine.I have seen them for around 800-2000 range but not with engine upgrades and (redone):thumbs2: how many ton? It would make a nice dump truck with a 2 speed axle

    yeah but Im thinking without being able to prove the engine upgrades, not sure I can get what I want out of it. The only reason I would get it would be to haul my challenger then re-sell it and profit.

    also it says its in red promer though? so Im confused. I asked him to send me recent pics when he does I'll post them

    Just my two cents (and probably worth as much LOL)....

    I've been looking for an affordable car hauler for a couple of years now, older, newer, running/driving and projects......

    one thing that would make or break the deal is the powertrain.....a 302/auto in a heavy truck chassis for hauling a car on it's back?....

    Nope.....I'd want a big block, or at least a larger cube/torque small block and heavy-duty trans

    Not saying the truck's not worth the price, or the trade, but keep in mind if you're going to resell it, the small engine and what's probably a light-duty auto trans might be a drawback to potential buyers
