    Why do you think it is crazy?You ever build anything like that before?Try it and tell me how much you ask for yours!!!!!!!!
    Sorry for sounding sour, but everyone wants it for nothing.There is no junk on that car.

    lets be honest here , these are no mustangs...you can put 50k into our cars and still have a 10k car if that, just the way it is

    i know it cost a lot of money and time, but you gotta know that you wont get every penny back.

    i absoulty love your car, its awesome, but its truly pricey...
    i dont think any maverick has sold for that price

    even the perfect restos cant bring half that

    no disrespect, just being honest:Handshake

    I know you wont get back every penny,not trying to.But we aren't talking about a stock or mildly customized car here.The drivetrain couldn't be bought for half of what I am asking.It's like compairing an apple to an orange.

    i understand that...trust me, i know it cost alot of cash to get it right, but your just not going to get it , maverick guys arnt the type to spend 30k on a car, we arnt like that and no one looks at a maverick as a 30k car, no matter what you have done to it, we arnt mustang guys we just arnt that crazy to spend that much money on our cars.

    you could have a boss 427 in it and still have trouble selling for 30k

    like i said BEST OF LUCK to you selling it, if you get AWESOME! i just dont think any maverick of any type set up has sold for that , you could build a 8 second 1/4 maverick/comet and still not get that money
