1970 Ford Maverick 2dr

Low RESERVE
Ebay doesnt have a Maverick category if you can believe that (yet they have a Comet)
So Im using the next best thing..

This car has great history, the original owner ordered a car with these specs for the most
part in 1969, sometime early 70 the local FORD dealer (Old Pueblo Ford) at the time called
the lady up and said we found a new car, with all the specs you wanted and we are shipping
it in from PHX to Tucson. She bought this car in mid 70s and has owned it ever since.
The car was driven as a daily driver up till about 15 yrs ago when it turned into a 2nd car.
The odometer shows just under 110k and its box A all original.
The car has the original motor, trans and AC option still. 90% of the paint is what Ford put
on when it was built in 70. Being in AZ its whole life, other then mild surface rust the sheetmetal
is amazing for a car this old. People back east could only hope their cars would look
this good at this age.  Az has been hard on the seatcovers, headliner and carpet and other
interior stuff, but that sort of stuff you can fix in a weekend and at a fair price too.
I bought this car hoping to keep it, but other things have come up and now its time to
find it a new owner.

Keep it as is and restore it back to stock, or maybe transplant a V8 into it
and make a Grabber Clone out of it. Either way I dont think youll ever go wrong.
Its about the cleanest Maverick Ive seen even around here in a few yrs.

DRIVETRAIN: under the hood is the original 250 cyl which runs and drives great.
Trans and brakes feel like that should and its a fun car to drive.
Has alot more power
then I expected thats for sure. AC all there but the 
compressor no longer has the pulley on.
Not sure if its okay and maybe bypassed 
in its life for some reason or if it needs a
new compressor and what not.

Just rebuilt the carb and cleaned out the fuel system the best we could
Only noise I hear under the hood sounds like a alternator bearing maybe.
Its not squeeling or anything, but its humming and almost sounds like a PS
pump going bad (except the car doesnt have ps). Would be an easy restoration
under the hood.


INTERIOR: again, Arizona has been hard on the rubber, plastic and vinyl on the car
from the heat and dryness, so expect to have to restore alot of the interior too.
Factory Tach & Gauges all seem to work correctly but the stock radio is gone.
Its fine for a cruiser or daily driver, but if will need work if you want to restore it to a
show car. But its all there and original .

EXTERIOR: the car is amazingly straight front to back. Other then a few dings 
theres nothing bad to say about the body at all. Paint is almost all original, think the
front valance was repainted at one time in its life, but pretty sure rest of the paint
is still original. Chrome and stainless trim around the car are nice too.
Missing grill emblem, but I may have it somewhere around here.
95% rust free AZ car and unmolested.

Suspension: mostly all stock suspension with really old tires.
The car has been off the road now for about 10 or so yrs, maybe more.
Brakes feel good , shocks feel worn.

This car is 95% rust free Arizona car
We just sold a 78 King Cobra a few weeks ago here on ebay
(please by all means check out our feedback !!)
This is still a Muscle car that would be great to restore seeing that its
survived this long thanks to the AZ desert.


These cars rarely even come up for sale anymore, so dont miss
this chance to own a clean Maverick.


Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.








































































































































































Hope you like the detailed pics
The interior floors are in nice shape as in much of the body
Im sure there is some old repairs done over the years
but it is a Project truck if you want to restore it, if you want
It just to go on trails and wheeling, it needs very little.

There you have it, probably The BEST represented JEEPS on Ebay.
 
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. 

Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know
exactly what you have in the end.

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles
youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !

until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.

The ignition or starter part is still giving me issues and works when it 

feels like it, BUT the funny thing is if I put a batter box or charger
on the battery, it will start EVERTIME when I do that. So not sure if its
still a cable, connection or old switch. Just want to put that out there before
the auction ends.

IGNORE THIS PART AT THE END
IT WAS FROM A PREVIOUS AUCTION AND CAR

Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury

Mon, May 14 2018

Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
