    Every car is buildable. It just depends on how much time and money you want to spend. :rolleyes: Not disagreeing though - this looks like mucho rusto.

    I have already bought the car along with another maverick he has. Im going to take a look in a few pictures will come soon. I cant wait to see interior that will probably be the biggest deal breaker wheather i build or part it.

    heck all you need to replace on it is the car and you're good to go.

    I hate to say it, but that looks to be a parts car. Not only a lot of rust but it is also hit in the right rear. But I have seen worse car's that have been restored. :)

    I got the car home defiantly a parts car.. It has bench seats the guy got confused. Column Shifter. He said his other car is a bucket seat car i havent seen it yet because he had 3 mavericks one at 1 house one at his sisters and one on his land all miles away after an hour drive and it was dark. So we got the grabber.. Im gonna post the sport mirrors on ebay. I may sell the hood and spoiler too.

    Well the hood is rusted out bad at the front but it could make a good project for somebody not wanting to spend that much on a hood. The Spoiler is near perfect but the ford dealer it sold at screwed two little tiny holes into it for their emblem. And mirrors are perfect. Those are the only 3 parts i really see worth count its got a 250 six cylinder.

    Put a battery in it and some gas and it started right up! It was built in canada but had a plastic Parker Tn dealership thing on it. Heres a picture
