I've got a short list of things I look for every now and then.
Examples are:
Ford Mavericks
'69 Fastback Mustangs (that someone doesn't appreciate)
'65-'66 Thunderbirds
Old, non-rusted jeeps
etc...
Anyways, out of my Nyquil-zombie fog today, I decided to look at craigslist to see what I could find.
Low and behold, there was a non-beat, non-wrecked Maverick, in Queen Creek... with an asking price of only $1000.
My dad called on it (I hack and cough when I try to talk) and got all the info.
-1970
-Original owner
-No/limited rust
-Two 6cyl engines (neither installed)
-Some form of automatic transmission
We go look at it (in my Nyquil-zombie fog)... and it is EXACTLY what I've been looking for... a roller Maverick, that is not rusted together- I learned my lesson during the rust wars with the '49 Willys Jeep.
It's now sitting in the garage. I'll have pictures tomorrow-ish or so.
