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 !
With less horrid surprises later on.
Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. 
With other auctions,  you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.
Email me for a quote for shipping.
Or fly in and drive it home, its that reliable and clean
.

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

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

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog. Ford Issues Three Safety Recalls and One Safety Compliance Recall in North America DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 22, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing three safety recalls and one safety compliance recall in North America.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

NHTSA investigating 500k Ford and Mercury cars for lighting failures

Mon, Apr 6 2015

The Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis might be long gone as new models in showrooms, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration might check them out yet again for a potential problem. At the urging of North Carolina Consumers Council, the agency may open another investigation into the front lighting control module on vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years, and NHTSA estimates the issue could affect 517,945 vehicles. If the module stops working, it can cause a complete failure of all forward lighting, including the headlights. NHTSA previously investigated the issue in 2008 and 2009 but found no need for a recall, according to Bloomberg. Ford also extended the warranty on the part to 15 years or 250,000 miles. To prompt this new request, the North Carolina Consumers Council received a letter from a woman experiencing the module's failure. Upon further investigation, the council found 604 complaints of this problem on NHTSA's website, including seven crashes. Furthermore, the group has alleged that dealers told customers that the parts to perform the replacement weren't available, despite the extended warranty. According to the government agency, "A defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and make a grant or deny decision." Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker tells Autoblog via email, "We will cooperate with NHTSA, as we always do." You can read the council's complete letter to the Feds in PDF format, here. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlamp/exterior lighting Date Investigation Opened: APR 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: DP15002 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received a petition from the North Carolina Consumers Council, Inc. requesting a defect investigation of an alleged defect condition resulting in headlight and/or exterior lighting failure on 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles. The petition letter is attached for review. The petitioner alleges a defect in the lighting control module that powers the headlights which can result in the loss of vehicle headlights and/or all exterior lighting while driving. ODI has previously investigated this issue under PE08-066 which was closed without a defect finding.
