    tomorrow we are getting a 1973 4 dr maverick with a 250 c4 the body is ok it is supposed to run. It has a mint interior with bucket seats. The deal comes with a 1968 4 dr falcon with a 200 c4 the falcon body is decent there is some dents in it but they should pop out easy what suprised me is when he opened the trunk lid the paint on it looked like new. The owner wants $300 for the pair and my mom said she would buy them for me

    actually the only car in the driveway is my dads 1992 corolla there is about 10 cars and trucks in the backyard and about 15 at my uncles. These will have to go to my uncles cause there is not room here. and I can hear the tr7 with a 351w in the garage now

    I'd love to put that old B 61 Mack cab on a 1 ton pickup frame and make a pickup out of it, maybe a Dodge with the Cummins.....Heck of a neat tow vehicle......just thinking out loud.....too many projects and not enough money as it is!!!

    I think I am going to leave them both together because I think they are to nice to use as parts

    After mavericks and comets my next favourite is the 1973-1979 ford pick-ups, you have a few and probably rust free, everything up here has rust on it.
