Another grabber on ebay,,, really nice!

The seller has made ten revisions to the description of the car already! One that gaught my eye was at first it was a 3:73 posi rear end,then a posi with no ratio given,then a non-posi etc. there was more changes but this was the big one,and as you all know there's a huge differance in the price for a posi rear,(which now the car does not have)so I still think the cars worth about $2500 (that's "if" noithing else changes)

 

Tom-$2500??? I challenge you to find a rust free all original 71/72 Grabber with a factory 302 in that condition for $2500 anywhere! You're living in yesteryear. I've watched that item & I don't see any revisions on the revised page section. And the rearend gears is the reason the car is not worth it??? Sorry, but I completely disagree with your assessment of this car.

 

GS: Challenge Me! Huh? For what? I have 3 1971 Grabbers,one is a 6 that I got for $200.00,The other two are 302's one with air,all are so called California "rust free" cars! the first one cost me $950.00 the second cost $1350.00 and that one was gotten off of e-bay I assure You that all 3 of these cars are just as clean as the one for sale (almost sounds as Your the one selling it)As far as -Bay goes just go to the item and You can look at the time and date of the revisions there was "TEN" of them as of this morning!
Why would someone say it's a 3:73 posi,then said it's a posi but unknow ratio,then say it's not a posi? sounds like someone don't have a clue!Come on now ten changes to the vehicle description "give me a break" Ya either know what You have or You don't !

 

Are we looking at the same car??? And what century(yesteryear) did you buy your cars in? I only paid $1200 for mine a year in a half ago. Non Grabber 72 302 with A/C & it wasn't in as good of condition as this one. Body about the same, but the interior is much nicer on this car. Dixon is closer to you tham me...Maybe you're selling it!
Seriously, I believe that Mavericks in general have risen in value over the last year & a quality car is a tougher find. They have been the best kept restomod secret for years, but more & more people are beginning to land on them as a easy money restomod project that is affordable at the ground floor. Thus, the Maverick has enjoyed a rise in popularity. We bag on some of these cars that show up on ebay stating they're not worth it, but they're bringing the money! Sure, you might be able to find the one behind the barn for a steal, but that is not an accurate measurement as to what the true value is. And those barn finds are more dificult to find. I just got contacted by Jim Smart of Mustang & Fords to inquire about a feature of my restomod Maverick. I think that is more likely to happen today than a couple of years ago. The Maverick secret is out! Prices will rise on these cars. Give your Mavericks more credit! If there is one common theme that I have noticed about this board...It is many of you don't think your Mavericks are worth squat...Well, maybe to you, but not to others. I believe that everyone of you should hope that every Maverick on ebay & other classifieds bring the top $. This car is truely an under appreciated & under valued in the market & I would not expect it to stay that way forever. I own some top quality Ford muscle cars & have a few of them featured in magazines before, but I have probably had more fun with my Maverick than many of the others that I own. Just my .02

 

Tom...

...you and GS must be looking at 2 different cars.
I don't see the revisions you are referring to on
the e-bay link at the top of this post. Scroll back
to the first post in this thread and you will see the
link to the car GS is referring to.

Seth & others! are You guys useing e-bay the right way? We are talking about the same car,go to the item and go to "REVIEW REVISIONS" it's there! My point was that"IF" it had a 3:73 posi,that alone is worth about $600.00 plus $400.00 for labor,thats a grand off the asking price because it's not there as first said,come on now that's like saying the car is red,or maybe it's green,could be white,( hell I don't know I'm color blind)Yea right!

 

Those revisions were all done within the first 24 hours of the listing with no bids being placed, therefore they are not shown in the revised edited section below the description & they don't indicate what those revisions are. Although 10 revisions is probably excessive, I routinely revise my first description of items I list on ebay after proof reading it.
To add a $1000 in value to a Maverick for a 3.73 posi is way out of line. And $400 labor? I can do it myself in a couple of hours.
Tom, I think that you are missing the point...Give your Mavericks more credit. You place incredibly high values on a 8" 3.73 posi, yet you won't give the car the credit it deserves.
I hope you don't think that I have a problem, as I just revised this post after proof reading it. LOL

 

Revisions??

I see where there were revisions made. I didn't ever see anything about a 3:73 rear end.
As far as the fact that there are revisions, I would call them corrections if made in the first 24 hrs. before there is a bid.
Unless this seller has pitiful feedback, I would guess it will sell in the upper $3K range. He should have started with a lower opening bid.

You guys "MISSED MY POINT" I'm trying to "low ball"so I can steal the car for a grand less! These are My arguments for not paying the asking priece (and there are all true points that I'v made)And You guys come along and blow it all out of the water! Cheeez! Your guys were soppose to "help" me get the car not tell me to pay more or tell me what the mavericks are going for now a days (and not yesteryear) But it seems You hell bend on making it diffacult for me.

 

OH !!!!

N/M

 

Well Tom, you should have never said anything in response to this post. I've reconsidered, it's really only worth about $1500. Mums the word...

 

LOL! I posted with hopes that the seller was watching!Well if he is,I think Your right the car is worth more like $1200-$1500

 

I guess that's My "pay back" for My April Fools "Free Grabber Hood"

 

I doubt that this guy watches this site, because by his description it sounds like he is turning the car for a profit. He doesn't appear to be a knowledgeable Maverick enthusiast. He does know enough to be dangerous by the fact that it is a small bumper V8 Grabber & has a very high starting bid. Good Luck. If you need anymore help, let me know...LOL
