    I really haven't investigated it much further. I brought it home and stuck it in the garage and that is it. Pulled it out over the weekend, snapped those pictures.....put it back in.

    I want to give it a full inspection and see what I have. Maybe I will start a poll??

    Craig,

    What about this car is so special that you would lust after it for 10 years? Especially, if it was in this condition 10 years ago?

    All the options: 302 V-8, Factory Floor shift, factory AC, high back buckets, light convienence group, etc. Either way I go with it....these options are getting tougher to find.

    :idea: Looks like it's time to replace 100% of the metal on that car to a new vin sticker with all your options. Didn't you sell that 74 LDO you had? :hmmm:

    I say restore it or just save it for another ten years.

    Ten years from now we would save mavericks this bad.

    We cant keep parting out every not so good maverick we find.
