    72 Maverick Grabber-one owner before me
    I just purchased from the original owner a 1972 Mav Grabber. it is the red with black striping. I went to school with the son of the lady who owned it. He drove it in High School as a first car, then backed into a tree with it. She had the car fixed and while they were at it she had them do a complete re-paint and detail. After all that work they only drove it a couple times and parked it in the garage in 1998 and it never left. After a good washing the car looks like it just left the paint room. I am looking forward to getting it back on the road and finishing the little details it needs. I am hoping that this site and all of you will be able to assist me with information and parts location, if there is anything any of you need just let me know. I have a good relationship with a salvage yard owner so I can get parts interchange info, get used parts and I am a mechanic also.
    Thanks!(y)

    Welcome to the site!

    It sounds like you have a solid car to start with and like the others, I can't wait to see pics of it.
