I have a 1971 Maverick. I have had it for a just over a decade now. I had a lot of intentions that never came to fruition, mostly due to a lack of free time. My garage has a water issue and it hasn't been kind to the car. I have decided it is time to let it go, and look for a new one after I move and have a better work space. I just don't know what a fair price would be and could use some insight. The car has many of the common rust issues; battery tray, both fenders, both quarters, driver's floorpan. The front bench has a tear in the driver's side, but is otherwise in ok shape. There is a musty odor from the moisture in the garage. The car does not run well in the cold weather we have had here lately. I fixed a vacuum leak and rebuilt the carb last year but it didn't help much.

A fair price is a hard thing to put on a car, you have spent time and money to get what you have today unfortunately you never seem to make that back but you since you bought the car a few years ago the price you paid was probably lower than what they are worth now so that is a bonus, the parts you have to go with it are highly desirable and I would actually try and sell them separately to get the best bang for the buck. So I guess the bottom line for a price would be what you feel is fair and happy with. Location of the car sometimes makes for a hard sale because of shipping charges or just the drive to get it. I know this does now help you much but just some insight for perspective Good luck with you sale.
Thank you for the input. I have been trying to sell various other non-Maverick related things to get ready for a move. It has been tedious and time consuming. I'm sure you are correct though about getting more by selling things separately. Perhaps for some of the more desirable items it would be worth the effort.
I fair price will help move a car in good to great condition. I cheap price will help move a car in not-so-good condition. Is that a recent picture? We would need pictures of all the rust areas plus engine compartment, interior, trunk and under body to even suggest a ballpark price. Rust is a price killer!!! Repair can be expensive and labor intensive. In addition the car isn't running well. Good luck with your sale!
For what it is worth, that used to be my car. I bought the car from the original owner. When I sold it....it was a very solid car with the minor issues he mentioned. I am sure somebody would be happy with it. I sold it back in September, 2007
