1970 Ford Maverick (Grabber) V8 4-Speed ** IMMACULATE ** Must Read Description

‘Finished about 2 months ago. Last week I had the car at a local shop for wheel alignment. I was told by a guy who has been around cars for a very long time. that this was the nicest Maverick he had ever seen. '

This is a 1970 Ford Maverick in restored condition. The paint is new and was done correctly. All door handles. door locks. trim. etc were removed for the paint job.

there are a few minor scratches. It's 2-stage paint and is a beautiful color.

My friend and I spent the past 16 months building what has to be one of my all time favorite builds. I am a Ford enthusiast to the core. I have been building Ford's for over 35 years.

The following is a list of features: 1970 Ford Maverick Grabber…(The Grabber hood. Seats. Rear Axle. 302 CID Engine. Grille and a few other odds and ends were found on a factory 1972 Grabber).

Auto Meter Gauges. Everything that was fabricated to include the gauge cluster. door panels. center console/cup holder along with the hood hinges and shock tower supports and frame-to-motor mounts were powder coated in black hammer tone.

The Wheels are Steel Smoothies…15x8's in the rear and 15X7's in the front ordered with custom offsets and powder coated satin black. Tires are BF Goodrich…235-70/15 Rear. 225-60/15 Front. The tires fit well and don't rub anywhere.

The Grabber hood was stripped down to bare metal. primed. blocked and painted inside and out. The front bucket seats. and rear bench seat have been completely re-upholstered…They look fantastic. The rear door panels were restored and painted. the rear deck was upholstered prior to installing the JL Audio Speakers.

Little things also replaced along the way: new heater core. voltage regulator. solenoid. new clutch pedal-to-floor seal. steering column to firewall seal. new rear leaf spring shackles and bushings. new door-to-body weather stripping. trunk seal. and cowl seal…. new outer seat hinge covers. led dash lights and inner dome light with new dome light cover. All new wheel bearings. axle bearings. seals. etc… New U-joints along with balancing the drive shaft. New speedometer cable. Billet Specialties window cranks. New Brake Master Cylinder. Dynamat throughout. and other interior insulation along with brand new carpet.

This car is absolutely spectacular! It looks like it came from the factory with a 4-speed. It has the correct steering column for a floor shift car. (I may have found the last one in the country). It was originally a 6 cylinder. 3 speed column shift car. so the clutch pedal was already there.

Have all receipts to prove all above listed items. I have more money in this car than my asking price. This does not include the HUNDREDS of hours put into completely stripping. priming and painting the engine compartment. hood. fabrication. and obvious attention to detail.

Issues with my health have forced me to sell this car. I just finished it. It may have 80 miles on it. The car was properly built with extreme care. by someone who pays particular attention to detail and function. This is a one-of-a-kind Maverick…It captures the attention of people where ever I've taken it. is very street-able and fun to drive. Sometimes I just like to hear the engine while other times. it's quite cool to crank up the stereo.  

I have a short video taken of the car running in front of my house. I would be happy to e-mail this video to you.

Please feel free to e-mail with any questions. Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping (I will do what ever I can to assist with shipping from my end)

Thank you so much for looking :)
