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

Ford recalls over 953,000 vehicles to replace Takata airbag inflators

Fri, Jan 4 2019

DETROIT — Ford is recalling more than 953,000 vehicles worldwide to replace Takata passenger airbag inflators that can explode and hurl shrapnel. The move includes over 782,000 vehicles in the U.S. and is part of the largest series of recalls in U.S. history. Included are the 2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, the 2010 and 2011 Ford Ranger, the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan, and the 2010 to 2014 Ford Mustang. Some of the recalls may be limited to specific geographic areas of the U.S. Takata used the chemical ammonium nitrate to create an explosion to inflate airbags. But it can deteriorate over time due to heat and humidity and explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister designed to contain the explosion. At least 23 people have been killed worldwide and hundreds injured by the inflators. Ford says it doesn't know of any injuries in vehicles included in this recall. Dealers will replace the inflators. Ford will notify owners about the recall starting on Feb. 18, and the company has replacement parts available for dealers to order, said spokeswoman Monique Brentley. In previous Takata recalls, parts availability had been an issue. Owners can go to this Ford website and key in their vehicle identification number to see if their cars and SUVs are being recalled. The same information will be available soon at the NHTSA recall website. More than three years after the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took over management of recalls involving Takata inflators, one third of the recalled inflators still have not been replaced, according to an annual report from the government and a court-appointed monitor. The report says 16.7 million faulty inflators out of 50 million under recall have yet to be replaced. And 10 million more inflators are scheduled to be recalled this month, including the Ford vehicles. Safety advocates said the completion rate should be far higher given the danger associated with the inflators. The recalls forced Takata of Japan to seek bankruptcy protection and sell most of its assets to pay for the fixes. The inflators grow more dangerous as they get older because ammonium nitrate deteriorates due to high humidity and cycles from hot temperatures to cold. The most dangerous inflators are in areas of the South along the Gulf of Mexico that have high humidity. Related Video:

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.

Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set

Tue, Jul 19 2022

Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence  the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
