    It sounds like an LDO, by looking at the pics of the engine bay I can see the AC compressor so I definitely believe it is an LDO (Luxury Decor Option). Also If you look the car has the delux gas cap...I know these were all ad ons you can get on the basic models but why would someone get them all seperate. I have the LDO option group on my 72 and the only differences between that car and mine is the Medium sized bumper up front and the fact it has the halo vinyl roof where mine is the full vinyl roof.....Oh and I have disk brakes and a AOD and....oh wait that stuff didn't come from the factory either.

    Yeah I figured thats what it is, but I was going to show the way to tell if it was a Grabber by the serial number. I just looked at those pictures again, and no offense, but holy crap you'd think you'd clean the garbage out of the car before trying to sell it.

    I agree with Craig...
    The wood trim on the dash is LDO only.

    I know the car should have been cleaned up before posting, but it is not my car and I told him over and over to clean it up. I finally just took the pictures of it as is. I am sorry for any confusion. Honestly, how much can I expect this car in this condition to sell for?

    I dont think it has a wood dash I think it just looks that way. In all honesty how much do yall think it is worth by looking at the pictures?

    The fake wood grain trim panel to the right of the A/C vent indicates that the car is an LDO car. There are many tip offs to this being an LDO car....LDO gas cap, Bucket seats, A/C, vinyl top, wide side trim with color matched vinyl inserts, and not only do the bumpers have the upright bumper guards they also have the rubber guards that go the length of the bumpers. Sorry to say that your car is just a run of the mill maverick like most others out there. :(

    As for price its hard to put a price on someone else's stuff, but from looking at the pictures and seeing what condition the car is in and the work that would be needed to get it road worthy, I would say that the car is worth around $500 max IMO.

    People are asking an arm and a leg for these cars now a days but they can still be had for cheap if you look in the right place I only gave $1,500 for my near mint 77 maverick and it only had 77,000 miles on it. :huh:

    Since you asked.......

    I would have to agree with cole639 on this one......based on condition and what it would cost to get it running and driving again....maximum of $500

    In the condition that it appears to be in, I would say it is worth about $200. It obviously doesn't run and it is in need of a lot of work.
    I have a 72 plain-jane 250/auto that is in better condition for sale for $600 in Seattle, WA..
