Hello to the members... I'm Ken Rohling, an I have a 1970 maverick I need to put up for sale. It was my grandma's car, no kidding. I bought it from her estate in 1991, after a station wagon took her out while crossing the street. I ran it 3 times, last time was in 1994, and it has been garaged since. After a long and nasty divorce, I got it back, 4 1/2 years later. Now, I find myself in a position where I need to sell it. :-( It's the 6cyl auto, has 23,000 original miles, all factory original. The plastic wrappers are STILL on the seatbelts in the back seat. Pics are posted at: http://maverick.ken-rohling.com/print-ad-sm.jpg and http://maverick.ken-rohling.com/ I need to know what's the most I could expect from this, and I'll be at 518.495.2915 . I know phones are old fashioned, but they're still quicker. Thanks, Ken
Wow...looks like a really nice car for original. And I have to say that is the 1st roof I have seen with that material. Looks like a car that probably needs to be kept original. Not a tremendous amount of value in a 6 cyl car unless you just happen to find a buyer specifically looking for that type of car. Probably 98% of the Mavericks owned by the people on this message board are modified to some extent or another. I'm just saying it's a lot harder to get top dollar out of that car over one that's been tastefully modified with a v8. Definitely a very nice clean car! I wish you luck!
that definatly sounds like the ultimate old lady car. it might actually be a 1969.5 model making it even more desierable. im not too good at valuing these myself but im thinking at the very least 6 grand
Nice car I have only seen pictures of one other car with that style of top. It belongs to Corbin Johnson in CA. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=7089
I hope that whoever buys it keeps it all original for sure. Not too many combo's around like that one (that I know of anyway). I see what appears to be that someone helped themselves to the gas cap. Good luck on the sale. If no one here jumps on it, I'd definitely ebay it.
That top should be listed in the post about "rarest parts" to find. I don't know if anyone makes those anymore. I have a feeling there's not much of a market out there for hounds tooth vinyl tops to fit our cars.
WOW! First other car I have seen with the same top as mine. My top is in bad condition though. Very cool! -Corbin
Man, if you weren't so far away, and if I needed a third Maverick, I'd at least make an offer. Good luck on the sale. I hope the new owner is either a member here or becomes one. I'd like to keep up with that one.
