    Was the Maverick Stallion available with the three spoke brushed aluminum steering wheel with Stallion Horn Button? I've got one on my 70 Grabber Mustang and am going to go back to stock. I'll see if I can't get my dad to take a picture of it and post it tomorrow evening. - Matt

    No, the Stallion steering wheels were never actually available from the factory on the Maverick, not even on the Stallion. The wheels were offered in Mustangs, Pintos, and other Fords of the era along with optional gauge packages which the Maverick never had. The sportiest wheel, if you can really call it that, offered on the Mavericks was a leather-wrapped version of the normal wheel.

    Or the Rim Blow wheel in 1970 on the early 1970 Grabbers.

    Oops, yeah, forgot about that one Craig. Those seem to be SO rare on a Maverick, I just never even think about it. Sorry. Craig is correct, those would probably be the sportiest offered in a Maverick.

    Maybe you should post a picture. Didn't your 70 Grabber have one? Or is it Russ' 70 Grabber? Either way, there's probably more than a few people on here that don't know for sure what it even looks like.
