This looks like a good deal to me ,just surprised by his statement of only 10, I thought we had that many on here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1976-Ford-Maverick-Stallion-Very-Rare-/130418453147?pt=US_Cars_Trucks
That picture looks like Silver Springs, with Chip's car in front of it. 1 of 10 left.....I doubt it, as for that "Automotive Clearing House"...
It's a young woman that owns this car.. I met her at the silver springs all ford show... The car is very nice.... She has a silver one too....
Melanie added her car to the registry last week. Very nice car. I didnt know she had another Stallion. I hope this car will go to a good home!
I'm sorry to put it this way but, what a bunch of BS about not telling the reserve to keep it fair to everybody. The reserve is what it's going to take to buy the car, nothing more nothing less. I always ask the reserve because then I know if I really want to go that high or not,and I always tell the reserve because I think it's only right that people know what It's going take. When I see, I will not tell the reserve or that E-bay doesn't want the reserve known I start to distrust the WHOLE deal and back away. I mean if we start with alittle bs how long before it grows to alot of BS. I have bought 3 cars from E-bay and all 3 were willing to tell the reserve and they all were above board people. Thanks for letting me rant and get this out of my system. Rick
I have to disagree. There is some strategy to setting a high reserve. It allows the seller to gage his price based on the amount of bidders and bidding. Keeping the reserve unknown, bidders tend to bid what they think the car is worth. eBay allows sellers to lower their reserve price during the auction. When the reserve is lowered, everyone that has bid and bookmarked the auction get an email with the "lowered reserve" information. The reserve price can be lowered all the way to just above the previous high bid value. Then the next bid wins the auction.
i just saying but like it could be one of 10 look at all the cars that are quote un-quote one of one just because they had some added feature from the dealer that was never but on another car it could very well be one of 10 with like the feature package and all
Dont think it really matters if its 1 of 10 its a nice looking car. Its about the only big bumper car that really appeals to me. (Stallions that is)

When someone saids they are being fair or E-bay won't let them tell the reserve it's BS. If they were to say that they would rather just let it go and see what happens I can live with that. But the FAIR stuff just makes me wonder about everything else. I hope I put it better this time and as it's off topic I'll end my rant Thanks again Rick
rickm, Are you planning on bidding on this car? If not, who cares. I met these folks at Silver Springs and saw the car. Very nice car. Bid with confidence. If purchased for a reasonable price, you will be happy with it. If it were silver/black, I might be tempted. As stated earlier, Stallions are the only big bumper cars that peaks my interest enough to consider buying it. Jim
If that is the car I think it is, then it used to belong to a guy who was once a member here. Dale and I did some work on the car a number of years ago. The last time we saw it the car had some rust issues on the rear frame and the rear bumper support, but like I said that was a number of years ago. The guy who owned it then didn't want to fix those problems at the time and eventually the car would no longer pass PA state inspection. That is not to say that those rust issues have not been taken care of by now. They very well might have been fixed, but if somebody here can see the car up close it would'nt hurt to look just to be sure. Other than that this is a nice Stallion worth checking out.
