What's your best Score Ever.....

What is/was your best Score.

You can have two answers. Your Best Free Score and the Best Paid for score.

I'll go first.

Best Free Score 69.5 Maverick Thanks to our very own David Moore. I still gotta pick up but it was the coolest thing any board member as done for me.
(Somebody else please try and one up Dave)

The Best paid for score was not maverick related but for My dads(mine) 67 Cougar. A mint Black dash Pad. Anybody that has messed around with Cougars knows that's a like finding a needle in a haystack.

Cost $20.00

Come on guys let me hear your best dealeo and don't tell me they were subframe connectors D from that one guy

 

coolise maverick related score, beside getting mine for $300. right after I got my maverick I took it to a local car cruise. an excited old man started talking to me, told me his son had a mav and a load of extra parts. headed out there the next day and got rust free hood, trunk lid and a perfect front bench for $100. his son converted to fiberglass and buckets. he even took it to my house in his truck for free. cant seem to think of any cool free scores latley.

 

paid 150 for my 75 a/c p/s all there and ALMOST no rust put a battery in it and drove her home

 

Best paid: $75 bux for a Granada 9" from the wrecking yard. They didn't know what it was, and better yet, didn't care.

Best free (sorta): I went to a swap meet with $15 and a couple parts on a dolly. I think it was a set of worn out 351c 4v heads and an intake. I went around for hours buying and swapping parts for anything I thought was a good deal. Some parts I only owned for minutes before swapping to other vendors.
I left the show with a fresh 4.11 8" chunk, Torker 289, Toploader 4 speed, 9" N-case, 3310 Holley, lunch, and $125 in pocket.
I figure that was a good day at the swaps.

thats what swapping is all about.

 

Best scores: '71 Comet front bumper with brackets and gravel gaurd, I had something like $50 bucks in it. Also got a perfect '70 front valance for $11, a real nice front valance off a '72 Sprint for $11, a nice rear valance for $8, V8 frame mounts for $4 a piece, a V8 cross member for $8, and a few Mavericks for free, includeing one I drove home.

 

My best free score was my 77' Maverick ( the all red one). I traded my worn out 6 cylinder 68' Mustang for the 302 powered Maverick even up. I've had that car for 10 years now. Best deal I ever made. My best paid for score was the red and white 77' Maverick we just recently bought. The car cost us $350.00, but it has 44,000 original miles on the motor and came with brand new still in the box carpeting and custom Maverick floor mats thrown in for free. Add up the cost of the carpeting and floormats and the car was a steal.

 

...i know :bananaman :bananaman ...i know :bananaman :bananaman ...ask M.A.V.about his hood

I found a 4-leaf clover once....


...after somebody showed me where it was.

 

I got my White and Orange 74 Grabber for a Greyhound bus ticket, the ticket was somewhere around $375.00 but was still worth it.
I picked up a rust free Grabber hood for $75.00, about 15 years ago..
My 73 Grabber was a one owner, rust free, California car, and that was a good deal for under 2 grand.
A guy that worked at the St.Thomas Assembly plant gave me a NOS (or should I say, factory fresh) locking Maverick gas cap, with the key, for free.

 

#2 score...her name was Bunny....I think. That was in Miami, FL.


Of course...I have to put my wife in front of her!

 

My best paid score was when I went to the U-pull-it junkyard and got a Grabber hood, Grabber spoiler, rear valance, front valance, gravel pan, and small front bumper for the modest sum of $110. I imagine those parts would fetch $1000 combined today.

 

Were we talking about the same thing?
