    ..seems real solid . good fenders, and 1/4 panels behind the tires . I reallly wanted a auto trans , but its so solid, I may get it anyway. shift was changed from colum to floor at one time I belive . I didnt pull the crpet up to look at da floor, but from under , only surface rust. it wasnt undercoated . Well, 1900-2000 a fair offer on this car ? Not even any door hinge play on the drivers door. Gotta sell my DR 650 to buy this,..anyone need a nice M. Cycle ?

    Depends. If he is asking $9500 for the car....than what you are suggesting is not a fair offer. If they are asking $3000 for the car...then your offer is more "fair" I suppose.

    Heck...offer them $900 for it...might take it!!

    So true Craig. Haggle with them. They just might take $900.00 for it. Looks to be a solid car in the pictures.....
    Good Luck!

    Well .. Since a Band-Aid colored 76 Maverick is probably not that sought after a car .. you may have a chance at $900. Hasn't it also been on eBay a couple of times?

    Yes, maybe I should keep lookin for awhile, I did want an auto. I dont think they would go that low, the owner told me he just spent $700 +bucks at big O for ball joints,etc , +new tires, new carb,......I had the hots for that green Comet in S,California, but , its not for sale anymore:(
