The collectors magazine I used to gage the price of my '74 Mav when I bought it had these figures:
Poor - $250.00
Good - $750.00
Excellent - $1500.00
Their definitions:
Poor - Even from 20 feet away you can tell the car needs help
Good - From 20 feet away the car looks pretty clean
Excellent - Looks clean from less than 10 feet away
Face it, the Maverick is not a highly sought after collectors car. People will pay what they feel is a fair price for what they are looking at. One person may be willing to pay a high price, the next may not. I paid $500.00 for mine, it fell in the "Good" catagory. I am not trying to slam anyone's ideas of what their car is or is not worth here, simply stating the "collectors" value for the car. Either way you look at it, whether you get what you want out of it or get less than you want, sooner or later the car will sell.
: I have a 70 Maverick with just over 50K original. It's canary yellow with black striping. I've had it repainted but matched the original colors.
: The interior is now a spiff two-tone cloth and it's in great shape. Most of this car's life was in a garage. I got it with 13K and put most of the miles on it going to high school and college. Dad's a mechanic so I had to do all the Maint. work.
: It's two doors with the straight six 220. Automatic. No AC or other fancy gizmos but it's in better shape than any other Maverick I've ever seen.
: Unfortunately, I've got to sell as my parents bought me a new car and need to pay it off. I'm asking $2,750. I know it's above average, but the car is aove average. I'll also arrange delivery if possible.
: Give me a holler if you're interested. Please make sure you want this car to drive and enjoy. I don't want it parted or used to rebuild some heap. It's in too good of condition.
