looked at a 1973 Maverick today

maybe $800 there is probaly a lot of rust hiding in it.

 

Yup, kinda oddball, would be cool to restore 100% stock.

 

The mileage is most likely correct, In Michigan if this car had 155,000 there wouldn't be enough of it left to even use as a parts car.

Deals may still be out there in the south, and out west. But in Michigan a car with limited rust is hard to find for a reasonable price.

 

The car is complete. I would fix what needs to be fixed to make it a driver for now, for the wife. then maby she will not drive mine so much.

I thinking about offering $1500, thats after I check the cowl for leaks.

I found a 1977 comet to use as a parts car. It has power disc brakes and power steering. also has a very nice interior to bad its green.

 

Ohhhh dont i know, I used to live in Lake Orion for a little over 2 years. We drove up there with a 78 trans am in mint condition. After 2 years of salt, the quarters were non existent....

We once got lost in Pontiac, MI. in it at 3am, and an officer led us out, said we were in the wrong part of town with a car they never get to see in this condition. lol... scary though.
