I found a guy local who has a solid grabber hood ,grabber trunk lid with both end pieces and a driver side and passenger side early front fenders in great shape ,he wants 600.00 for all and wont separate
Before I bought my carbon fiber grabber hood I saw a steel one go for about $500. If you don't need/want any of the other parts you can always sell them to get some of your money back.
Sounds like a fair price. Buy the 'lot' keep what you want and sell the rest. Probably will end up not having that much tied up in the hood.
I'd offer $500 and see if they'll take it. If it were just the hood, I'd say no way. But for the other parts, and if the fenders have no rust, I'd definitely do it.
someone just beat me to the parts,the owner was out of town all week and came in today ,I just so happened to work OT today so as soon as I got home I called and he says those scary words I m sorry I just sold it all a few mintues ago DAng It!!!
Wow, that really sucks. I remember a time when nobody cared about Maverick stuff. Times have changed.
times have defiantly changed maverick stuff is really hot right now. it will slow down a little in a few months toward christmas and january but by march it will be on again. I think its the timing of it. everything 70's is getting htf because all of the 60's and older stuff has either been grabbed up by hoarders or resellers that want a fortune for there parts since a few guys have paid over end of the rainbow prices
You snooze you lose I would not have hesitated on a price like that but having the cash to do it is a different story, I like many other sellers of Maverick and Comet parts can tell you stories of what stuff sold for years back and it sells for 300% more now
yellow75 I didn't hesitate I called the guy the same day it appeared on craigslist and he said he was out of town but would be back Friday ,I work day shift hours I called as soon as I got home and someon ebeat me to it cause I so happened to work over if I hadn't of worked over I might have beaten the other guy im over it but I wil say cash wasn't a problem
Just saw this post and I bought the parts your speaking of including a front valence he forgot to list, he said it was because I was first to contact him. Looked at text messages and I contacted him Monday at 12:58pm and like you he said he would send pics Friday. Don't know when you contacted him but hopefully it was after I did as he claimed. Sorry Maverick7072. Just didn't want you thinking I bought them from under you as hopefully we will see each other at a Gadsden First Friday or somewhere.
tlowery643 I didn't call him until Tuesday but he never said he was holding them for someone else he just said he woul dbe home on Friday .its no big deal was gonna make my 70 into a grabber if I bought these parts but now I will probably stick to my original plan and put a 3 inch cowl hood on the car .I never heard of a Gadsden 1st Friday but we have one here in Decatur, Also the guy with the parts had a 69 mav I tried to buy about 2 yrs ago but he could never get the car to run and I wasn't gonna give him his firm price I knew then he had those parts I waited for a while to see if and when he was gona sell them . give me some details of the 1st Friday maybe il get over there sometime
Gadsden is an awesome show the first Friday of every month year round. 7 city blocks long with cars parked in both middle lanes and then the angle parking on both sides and on the side streets. Lots of food vendor, numerous corners with bands, performers etc.
