Before you send me an email asking me for my "best price, bottom-line or asking price" let me just make a suggestion based on 36 years of buying and selling experiences. Deals are made through conversations, not texting, not emailing or conversations without even knowing who or what you are talking to, they happen throughpersonal contact. I want my my clients to know who they are trying to make a deal with. I want to know their real intent to buy also. This equation does not exist with "What's your best price?" and no personal contact. I have gone to great lengths to find this incredible vehicle, make sure it's the best it can be for you and present it in a way that no other seller does online. I do that so we can talk, make a clear deal, fair for both sides and watch a happy buyer enjoy their new ride. If you just don't have the gumption to make contact and you just want an idea of price, look at what the market values posted above say, they are fairly accurate on AVERAGE vehicles across the US. If you think this vehicle is average, above or below, bid accordingly or. . . pick up the phone and have a pleasant conversation with a real enthusiast that can make your deal on the spot. Keeping it real.

Let's make a deal...Call me

This Show Stopping 1974 Ford Maverick Prot-Touring Coupe is a real head turner. Solid, rust free and all the original floors that it came with from the factory. A laser straight body that was media blasted to bare metal and coated in a beautifully finished bright red paint that shows like glass. Black trim and chrome all in the right places show like new, the 1971 Maverick small front and rear bumpers give it that early style grace and sportiness. The fully customized Billet aluminum front grill emblem and the rear full cap are incredible and far superior to original factory emblems. All we've talked about is the exterior first impressions and you're already loving the car like I did... Let's move deeper...

So you haven't seen a Maverick in a long time...let alone, one this spectacular. Just stare for a few minutes at the beautiful lines on this early seventies hot rod. The body lines, metal work and paint finish on this car are outstanding in quality and finish workmanship. YES, you will be proud to take it to any show and YES, it'll probably turn many heads because this car is top shelf quality and rare to see. Finding a Maverick is hard enough but finding one that has been modified so nicely and with a lot of respect for the brand, that's even more rare. This Maverick probably started out life as "Grandma's Car" with her automatic and 200 6 cylinder base car but a few years ago, a loving builder had more modern plans for this gem. First completely dismantle the entire car, media blast the body and refinish it to a better than new finish and add some touches that would give it that "Grabber" look with the functional Ram Air hood scoop and rear spoiler...Detrim the body to simplify it to a more modern look, add the very tasteful 1971 chrome bumpersinstead of the hugh ramming bumpers of the 1974. Rolling on a set of polished American Racing Torque Thrust 16" wheels...just brings it all together for external appearances.

We have always enjoyed so many of our classic cars...so many of them the kind of cars we see everyday, like Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, Chevelles, and the list goes on...but finding a Maverick with this much swagger and street cred? Once in a lifetime for most; especially in this day and age. Finding one that has Pro-Touring modifications that make it so you could drive it daily and feel at ease doing it...a real rarity.

We always love to see very original cars that are tstefully modified. They seem to find their homes so much easier because it is what the buyer remembers from their youth. This Maverick really brings it back if you're looking for those memories from the 60s and 70s when these were all over the roads. Today, YOU WILL NOT SEE too many like this one, not this nice, not this well sorted out and turn key drive it home if you like quality.

Remember when we said that this car's build was so much more that just it's external show? Well here it is...open the cock pit of this Maverick and it just screams pure pleasure. Solid Black Leatherette custom door panels and seats...sewn with red thread and done extremely well...(I've seen so many custom interiors where the upholsterer seamanship looked like he had had six to many beers) This interior just looks great from front to back and top to bottom. A perfect dash pad, an aluminum Grant leather wrapped steering wheel, a full length custom console that came from a 1980 TransAm that now looks like it was meant for this car. Perfect dash, headliner, like new everywhere you look. New weather seals, rubber, window felt and seals, this was not just a refurbished car but fully restored nut and bolts everywhere from top to bottom. As part of the under-treatment to restoring this car, the builder installed Dynamat type material on the floors, trunk and sidewalls giving it insulation and sound proofing far beyond factory standards of the day. So up close inspection of this car in and out, gives you a feeling that no expenses were spared to make this Maverick a true one of a kind show winner.

Like everything else about this incredible car, finish work is outstanding. Just look at the close up images of the upholstery workmanship. This was not a drunken sailor on this job and everywhere else you look from under the hood to under the car, details abound. Truly not a pig in lipstick.

Little details like Billet window handles.

Standard dash but the console houses the goodies that every hotrod needs to have.

Yes, that's a5 Speed Tremec Manual Tansmission...doesn't get much better than this.

Tires are like new too.

Fully Rebuilt 5.0L 302 Roller Motor Professionally built by Quest Racing Engines

See the specs above

Roughly 5000 miles on the complete build

Finished Trunk we also pulled out the carpeting so you could see the under layment

Almost every time we see a restoration, we look underneath and we see a 43 year old car...not here...Spotless, clean and finished with all new suspension, rust free floors and very nice details. Wait until you see the close up pictures below.

Brake Pads and shoes in the rear are like new

Lots of Mustangs look okay from up top. Very few have an undercarriage restored to this level . .

Found this old registration with Grandma Lois's name on it... Then below we have pictures of the build process and a few receipts too.

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average,exceptionalvehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.

With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner ofA-Best Auto Repairin Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fixanything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unlesshethinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.

Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? Wedo.

No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and Ineedglowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.

If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. Imustsell at that number.
