Tucson, Arizona, United States

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.


On Jun-29-14 at 20:09:21 PDT, seller added the following information:

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

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
