    1972 maverick, Factory 302, soon to be mav Grabber clone
    Hey guys, I just signed up.
    Well, I have a 1972 Ford Maverick that has factory 302 and factory 5 lug axles.
    I am in the process of rebuilding the 302(which happens to be a numbers matching block) and painting the car.
    It's gonna be (im leanin towards) canary yellow w/ black grabber stripes.
    I also have a grabber spoiler for the back.
    I'm looking for some bucket seats for it and would LOVE to find some factory buckets for it for cheap if possible (ive already spent all the money i had saved up on the car so my budget is pretty cheap right now)
    Also I could use a Grabber grille.


    well...thats about it for now

    Peace
    Rooster

    Welcome aboard:Handshake

    I'm working on a 72 grabber myself. 6 cyl. 3spd. If you find some seats, I hope there's 4 in that car :rofl2: I'm thinking about Mustang buckets because you can get seat upholstery for those.
