Seller’s description
1971 Ford Maverick grabber – 302 V8 – 3-Speed automatic transmission– $9,500
Selling my 1971 Ford Maverick equipped with a 302 V8 and 3-speed transmission. The car runs and drives and has a solid foundation for someone looking to enjoy it as-is or build it into a really nice classic.
The exterior is in decent shape for its age, while the interior could use some attention and restoration. Mechanically, it drives but could use some additional work and tuning to improve the overall driving experience.
Highlights:

• 1971 Ford Maverick
• 302 V8
• 3-speed automatic transmission
• Runs and drives
• Exterior in decent condition
• Interior needs some work
• Drum brakes
• Great candidate for a restoration, weekend cruiser, or custom build
• Classic Ford with plenty of potential
  I’m asking $11,500
