I have a 1975 Ford Maverick for sale that I recently purchased from a neighbor. I've only had the car for a short time, but have other projects that demand my attention. I'll be as honest as I can about the car.
The car is an original '75 200 straight-six Mav with a C6 transmission. Everything aside from a few suspension parts that were replaced (bushings, etc.) is original. The car is it's original brown color (how 70's) with tan interior. The car does not run.
The body is straight and solid, and there isn't much rust at all, and the rust that is there is only surface. The are two dents on the roof of the vehicle, and a dent on the hood, which is a little bent, it seems. The trunk lid, doors and quarters seem to be straight and dent free, though. No rust through anywhere.
The interior is in good shape. The seats are there with original upholstry, so far as I can tell, and the back seat isn't ripped. The front bench has a cover over it, but it seems just fine. I haven't looked under it. The dash has cracks. The headliner is in good shape, but has begun to sag. Carpet, steering wheel, gauges, etc. all there and in good condition being what they are.
Good wheels and tires, and the wheels happen to be original, with very nice condition original Ford Motor Company hubcaps.
Now for the bad news, and why I'm not too concerned with keeping it myself. The engine has a hole in the side of the block, near the back. While the rest of the engine is complete, the car no longer runs, and I don't have a six cylinder to replace it with.
The car would be good for a parts car, or, if you have a straight six block, good to restore. It seems a shame that it might have to be used for parts, but be what it may, it must go. I have 7 pictures of the car; just e-mail me if you want them. Like I said, aside from the block, it is a really good car, and in great shape for being a basically unmolested 1975 car, and would make a good project.
I'm asking $300 for the whole deal. Car has a clean title, and everything goes. E-mail or call if interested. I'm located about 45 minutes from Dallas, TX.
