I bought this two summers ago from another member on here.  

https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/a-77-maverick-does-route-66/104816/page1/

Sadly it's been sitting  beside the other project cars after the reality of not having enough time.  After sitting it managed to have the starter seize up so I replaced the starter, solenoid, and a couple of corroded battery cables.  A couple of the cables still need to be improved.

I would be happy to get $800 on here if it actually goes out on and continues the road trips I couldn't make happen.  It's driveable now but the brake pedal is pretty squishy so it shouldn't really be driven far.  If anyone actually wants to drive and make that happen I'm more than happy to lend a hand and tools but I just don't have the motivation to do it for myself.  Any takers on this still mostly rust free 1977 time capsule?

Bummer that you didn't have time to do what you wanted with it... I'd consider buying it back but I feel like I've driven it enough for one lifetime cheeky

If I were to buy that it would get a V8, five speed and be our next Lemons race car but that seems like a shame.  Or a proper burial after a few years of racing.

I wondered if this was your road trip machine!

Must not look at this.  Must not think about it being in the same state as me. Must not think about a 5.0 from an explorer with a five speed.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  This is killing me.    This is easy challenge material.

I am still hoping no one takes me up on this and I actually get to work on it more this fall.  I'm just in a space and time crunch right now as my house will be entertaining a large number of people for an event that will change the box I tick for marital status.  The honeymoon is planned to be a road trip to Alaska and I'm hoping it will either be in this or my stock 46 Buick.  It will certainly get posted up here if that happens.
