    "3.73 gears"
    Huh?
    That's not even a ratio ever available in an 8" gear, nor anything available in a Maverick...

    yeap I said the same thing I kinda liked it myself. I guess after the Mustang II, FUBAR maybe the fine folks at Ford thought they ought not do a Grabber II

    So if it was a factory 4 bbl, how come a conversion to 2 bbl is listed under the "Good" column? Still looks like a solid car, although half them pictures are worthless. Should have taken pictures of the lower sheet metal.

    wow i got a car in better shape for free and it was a grabber. i really like how that engine was just refreshed 755 miles ago but yet is that dirty. and how it has a 3.73 rear end maybe he read the rear end tag wrong. it sounds to me like its just got the 2.73 gears in it. i think i would give him 50 bucks for it.

    This is my ad yall are talking about. I do not know anything about fords I hate them. I posted it for my little brother and him and our dad told me it had all the stuff listed. the body is strait as a arrow so i dont how 1500 Or Best Offer is a wrong price. From MY mechanic says its not a grabber II but instead a plain V8 mave grabber with bucket seats and floor shift factory. Do I know how to check any of this? nope, but then again im a chevy guy.In my opinion its just a V8 car with some hard to find options. Any ways I have been lookin and its hard to find any maverick for the price he is asking in the condition it is. I would have taken better pix, but I dont personally own it. he has marked the price down to 1,000 cuz he wants a crotch rocket

    Wow, no disrespect, but that car is gonna take a LOT of work given condition shown in the photos. Dried leaves in particular make me cringe - they usually point to far greater problems. Good luck with the sale.

    I have a 1976 Maverick Stallion, and 85 More Mavericks and Comets in Inventory.
    The Rare Maverick I have ever seen is the one with a Factory I6 250 CID with an automatic trans, bench seat no A/C White and the year 1974 with Disc breaks,, and Angelina Jolee wearing some thing from Victoria Secrets pulling up and asking if I have some time to spare,,:Handshake ( Now That Is Rare)

    Versien,
    I don't think any one was really dogging you about your ad so much as we were questioning the validity of its content. You see a proto type Maverick Grabber II was made but not sold. To actually find one would be really cool. To have someone try and pass off a regular Grabber as the now Infamous Grabber II would be uncool. I am sure you had no intent on deception but not everyone is as truthful as you have been.
    Thanks for posting and letting us know the scoop on the car.

    So i guess that leaves out the possibility of a Grabber III or IV popping up ,eh.[​IMG][​IMG]

    this car actually gots me wanting to sell my 1981 Z/28 to buy it. only main problem I know of is the driver side floor pan needs replacing it has a peace of sheetmetal there. Also, is there a website or something that I can cross check its options and such to find out exactly what my little brother has? My mechanic is still swearin its a Grabber or Grabber II, but also says the Grabber didnt have a vinal top or bucket seats. I looked at the grabber II in the mag article that was posted in this thread and it seems the one on the left page looks a aweful lot like my brothers. I dont know and if it was my car it would be sittin at a restore shop somewhere while im having a big block built for it. Can y'all even tell me if the V8, Bucket seats, floor shift auto, and vinal top was rare on a car?

    Give us the serial number, we'll tell you what it is. Grabbers could have vinyl tops and bucket seats, It's not really a rare care, just nicely optioned.
