Hagerty is at $5,700 for a #3 good condition car which given the interior changes and the condition, that’s where I would put it at. I hate to focus on pricing but this certainly isn’t even close to being a #1 Concours condition car. They say that the only thing missing is the air-conditioning but I’m not quite sure what that means as it’s clearly visible in the photos and video. The seller provides a video of it running here on YouTube. They don’t provide a VIN which is very unusual for an eBay auction but the engine should be Ford’s 200 cubic-inch inline-six with 120 horsepower. The steering wheel isn’t original and given just the interior changes alone, I’m not quite sure how they came up with the asking price. The interior looks great but they say that the original bench seat in front has been replaced with bucket seats and the rear seats have had some repairs. The rear window and windshield have been replaced. They do mention some surface rust on the bumpers If I were a betting man, I would have said that it has been repainted at some point, it looks far too nice to be original from 51 years ago, but there’s no mention of bodywork or paint. This car looks fantastic and the seller says that it’s a real Grabber. Talk about a car that doesn’t get much respect! The 1978 Ford Fairmont replaced it in our market. The Maverick was offered in the US until the end of the 1977 model year but they were produced in Brazil until 1979. The 1970 Maverick Grabber didn’t have the twin-snorkel hood like the 19 models had and this beauty benefits, at least visually, from having small bumpers. The Falcon wheelbase was shortened almost 8-inches for the Maverick and they were introduced in early-1969 as a 1970 model. I know that a lot of Barn Finds readers are fans of the original Falcon which was used as a platform for both the Mustang and Maverick but they don’t seem to get the press or the public love as much as the Maverick and Mustang both get for some reason. Maybe it’s like how some countries are better at respecting their elders than we are here in the US, the same can be said for cars. For the record, Hagerty’s #1 Concours, absolutely flawless condition value is $12,100. This orange Grabber can be found here on eBay in Alexander, New York and the seller has a very ambitious buy it now price of $15,300 listed. I wonder why the first-generation Falcon doesn’t get more respect.
