    Need more info. How rusty is it? Built 351 or just a good stock motor thrown in? What kind of trans/converter? What gears out back? Going just by the pics looks like about a $800-1500 car without knowing any of the above.

    I would say $1000 to $2000. If it had mag wheels you could probably make closer to the $2k end.

    You should never put air shocks on a Maverick. They are going to punch the shock mounts through the bottom of the trunk.

    well, there is barely any rust. There is a small amount on each door, in the rear bottom corner, the size of a quarter

    its supposed to be a mild build, have no receipts or anything

    I have no idea about the gears or trans

    I'd rather have the dodge cop wheels on the car now.

    It's just a bad economy now, I might be wrong but I'd still say $1500 is pretty optimistic. Only way to know for sure is to put it up for sale & see what happens.;)

    Almost every maverick i have ever bought has had air shocks on them i have seen the damage it will do first hand... Defiantly not worth it. All the pressure on such weak metal.
