    stopped at a shop today and a guy almost ran up to my mav. he knew where a grabber hood was for sell. he gave me the directions and off i went.
    when i got there the hood was leaned up against a tree. no one was home so we left. about two hours later we (my son and i) went back. he has a 77' mav. for sell. we talked a little and he looked my mav. over. i asked about the price and he said $450. the car is 2dr., auto., 250 6cyl. front disk and no air. it had a new windsheild gasket installed. the kicker was he said he would throw in the grabber hood and a trunk lid for the $450.
    i told him i would come tow it to my house tomorrow and he said "why", it runs, i could drive it home.
    i will post pics. later...frank...

    Frank, great score! You guys in GA seem to have a disproportionate amount of these cars just sitting around. I swear, y'all are lucky. You just don't see them around up here, not even in scrap yards.

    So what are your plans for it?

    Sam :)

    "Technically" (I still call them Magnums...) they are styled steel wheels, and yes, they did come on Mavericks in later years. They were standard on the Stallion package, and I believe the late Grabbers as well. I have a set I replaced with the chrome ones that I started to repaint.. someday I may finish that... :D
