1974 Ford Maverick Base Sedan 2-Door 4.1L

Ford Other 1974 Description

This is a survivor car. it had been in a barn for probably over 10 years when I bought it in Northern GA. I bought it from what I believe is was the third owner who only bought it to resell. It has normal wear and tear but it is in really good condition for a 40 year old vehicle. There are two small rust holes about the size of a quarter and a nickel at the bottom of the left rear quarter but the metal is solid all around not cancerous. There are little scratches and normal wear on the body. Very early in its life it had the right front fender replaced. You can tell because there is a very slight color difference. The roof has a small dent on the left side just above the rear vent window.I bought this car for my son and it was a great father son project. I believe the mileage to be actual as it was driven local all its life but I have no proof other than the condition.Over the course of two year we replaced the following:All engine gasketsexhaust manifold was deckedAlternatorPower steering pumpBeltsDistributor Cap Coilwires plugs [Mr Sparky solid state ignition]radiatorhosesshockstiresbrakesmufflergas tankfuel pumpmaster cylinderbrake linescarpetdash lensesdash bulbsvinyl topwindshieldfront and rear window weather strippingTransmission fluid and filter changedThe interior is all original and in very good shape. The dash has one crack and and it has been painted with a vinyl paint. Looks OK. It has a period correct FM converter. I installed a set of 6 x 9 speakers and amp under the seat that you can hook up an iPod too (iPod in pictures not included in sale and is not available for purchase). it by passes the radio and sounds great. it retains all the stock appearance.Engine runs great and does not leak. Transmission leaks a little but shifts very smooth.AC works and blows cold. If you run it in traffic it will heat up the engine which from what i have read is very common as the radiators were small. We wet sanded the car it has all original paint. I found the original build sheet tucked underneath the front seat. You can see where the springs rusted on the paper. I have a lot of the original paper work as well. Trying to include as many pics as possible for your review. Novelty front plate and Personalized License Plate not included in sale. Pictures were taken last week.I am selling this car because we are going to move on to the next project. It can be driven as is or turned into something really nice. in any case its a great base car. I have it for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. If reserve is not met I may contact high bidder and try and work out a deal.Please send questions.
