    I just added another to my collection. It's a 70 Maverick. Teal blue, 250 cu in, C-4. Has no rust, does have a few dents & dings. The interior is in pretty good shape. The drivers side, of the bench seat needs to be redone. Otherwise in good shape. It was a 200 cu in car (blew up motor). They swapped in a 250 cu in motor & found out it doesn't just bolt up (not direct fit). All I have to do is connect the shifter linkage (when I get it) & connect the exhaust to the manifold. It needs a battery, water pump pulley & belt. Then I'm good to go... Not bad for $100 car. Will make a good daily driver.
    Here's some pics! Enjoy...

    $100.00?? So he wouldn't come down off that, huh?


    Great Deal! Congratulations. (y)

    That's as close to winning the lotto as I'd ever get.

    He also has a 72 Grabber 302 car. No intake & carb. It is pretty rusted out. It does have the Grabber hood & rear spolier. The rear seat is gone. He wanted to sell them both to me for $300. I told him no thanks. To much rust on the Grabber. Even under the lip of the hood, was rusted pretty bad...

    Great!!

    I love a good deal, even if I didn't get it. One bumper is worth more. Keep those eyes open.
    I got some 71 mustang high back buckets for $25 (both) the other day, no rails, just the seats, one base is rusty but I'll fix it, going in the '70. Had to tell someone!
