    '70 Grabber Rimblow. I passed on a Rimblow in a junked '70 b/c I didn't know they were rare. Wish I had pulled it.

    Sport Steering Wheel? Someone posted that they came on '76 Stallions. I thought this was discovered to be false. They never came on Mavericks, did they?

    One of the Stallion gurus here posted that the sport wheel was an option. So, not only was it never available on regular Mavs, but is apparently rare on Stallions.:huh:

    You can't even believe everything you read that comes from Ford.. sometimes stuff doesn't happen as printed. The 71 shop manuals list the Boss 302 for the Mustang instead of the Boss 351. They were printed before they canceled the Boss 302.

    There was never a Maverick convertible made by Ford. They did make a prototype with no roof, but I do not believe it had a convertible top. There have been a few enterprising people that cut the roof off and made their own convertibles. Speaking of which, Dennis, when is that thing going to be finished? :D
