    I'm meeting a guy this afternoon to look at a couple of mavericks and one is a Grabber. I think I can buy the pair failry cheap. One is about a 74 or 75 4-door model. Neither is running. But, all the parts are there! The Grabber is either a 71 or 72 and has the grabber hood with no rust and the chrome molding around the front doesn't even have a dent! The Grabber is a factory 302, automatic car with buckets. 5-lug rear. I'll try to snap some pictures tonight and post them up. The motor is out of the Grabber, but the guy says he has it in storage and it is all there. I thought at first I would just use the parts as spares for my first Maverick, but the more I think about it, I may just try and make that Grabber streetable...!

    I went and looked at both, but my camera didn't work. Both were better than I had hoped. Both cars have all parts there and the non-grabber is a two door! The motor is out of the grabber but the other has the straight six still in place and probably with some time, attention and a good battery it would fire right up. The grabber is a 72 I believe and the other is either a 74 or 75. Both factory A/C cars and automatics with column shift. Both have 5-lug rears. All glass was in good shape. I was very suprised. I went ahead and took the the pair. FordMuscle53 and fan2488, I'll email you
