    Well i had an ad on a local site looking for maverick cars. I erased the ad a week ago. But i got a call today from this guy in Lebanon About 45 minutes from me. Saying he had a 2 door maverick his friend was redoing it. Switching from drum to disk brakes and all the glass is out of it. He said he put a black rust protector under the bottom. I asked him how much he wanted he said ah well i guess $500. So im waiting on some pictures and then im gonna go from there it is a 1973. It sounds in good shape but if not its just a parts car.

    yes it has a 302 in it but it is "stuck". The car is completely taken apart all doors,windows are out of the car.

    There is over $500 in parts there, although I would build it. Does the car have a clean title?
