Got a V-8 mount from a bone yard on Saturday. $35.00... The donor car was a '77 and had a good p.s. door and fender (VERY minor scratches, no rust) which I may pick up this coming Saturday. Does $100.00 sound fair for these items? That price is with them taking the parts off. The parts will be going on a '74 so are there any issues as far as body panel interchanging goes?
Damn shame, this car. Only rust hole is in the d.s. door. Body looks really good and was a power brake car. The problem was that the leaf spring mounts at the frame rail rusted out. The car was sitting on the rear axle.
BTW, how hard would it be to put a radiator out of a late model Mustang into a Maverick? Pep Boys sells 3-core radiators for Mustangs for $120, the one for the Maverick is $280. For $160 savings, I'm thinking I could make one fit, what do you guys think???
