    How rare do you think this car is? Look at the floorboards and inner door! IT WAS A FACTORY SPECIAL ORDER PINK MAV, id love to see a Marti Report on this car, gotta be a very very low number! on top of all that it looks to have had white iinterior, was white available in 1970?

    Not a white interior. Looks like an very faded red/maroon interior. Look at the color of the dash.

    I also don't believe the paint is pink. Again....looks like an very faded maroon color.

    Ford did make pink Mavericks. I seem to recall it was for the Rose Bowl parade or something.

    the floor looks pink.. but just like above.. i think it is probably from a red carpet that got wet, and stained the floor.. but no way of knowing for sure..

    ask the seller for the door tag info and check it out

    I agree with Craig.

    It looks like faded maroon on the floor board, not pink.

    Pink or Maroon, a car with no interior and doesn't even say if it runs I seriously doubt he'll be getting anywhere close to $2200.

    But I do like the deep dish mags on the back of the car..I have always liked a deep dish chrome rim on most 70's cars

    There is a factory pink Maverick on this site somewhere. Don't remember who has it. Seems I remember that they are turning it into a drag car or something?
