I just received some news today that may require me to sell my 70 Maverick with 302 and my newly aquired 73 Grabber. Financial changes as well as fuel prices have had a great impact within the last week.

I am not looking forward to selling either car, but I may have to do just that. :-(

I am (gulp), thinking of buying a Ford Focus to replace my daily driver 70 Maverick and with a financial shortage, I am unable to keep either car and do what I wanted to to the new 73 Grabber. My 70 gets me pretty bad mileage for daily use(roughly 12-14 at best on average between city/highway MPG). I found a Focus for 99 a month and it gets 33 MPG.

This is not a classified add, but I am wondering what some of you think I can get for both cars.

The Grabber has A/C(disconnected), P/S, 302, C4(just rebuilt and installed last weekend), needs minor interior work, has exhaust leak at pipe, has a little bondo on pass. side quarter and is fadd white in color with tan interior.

The 70 has a C4(rebuilt at same time as engine), 302 with 15k miles(headers, Edlebrock carb., 4v heads, performer cam, dual 2 1/4 pipes with flowmasters), has an ok interior(perfect dash with beautiful head liner) but has small holes in carper and small tears in seat but has covers, black in color with white exterior(also faded). The body is very solid with no rust what so ever and no body damaged. It also had A/C but is disconnected(have compressor but need longer lines for V8), has 67 Mustang 4 piston disc brakes, 8 inch rear(has 8k miles on rebuild) and 3.55 gears. It has 14 inch mag wheels with Michelin 215 70 14 tires, front susp. rebuilt except for upper shafts and new rad. and rear leafs. The engine has a small oil leak due to when I did the cam change(I didn't realize it was just as easy to remove only the front cover and I did the oil pan too which it now has a small rear oil pan seal leak).

I hope someone can give me some estimates on what I can get for either car; If I sell, it will be within two weeks so I must know ASAP.

Thank you all for such great info I have received here over the past couple of years.
