    On my 72 Grabber, the "62D" is listed under the "Body Code" section.

    Also, you will have the number "93" in the 3rd and 4th digit of the VIN number.

    If it has the 93 in the vin code it is a Grabber. If it has a 91 it is a standard 2 dr maverick. 62D in the body code section means it is a 2 dr body style, :)

    Don, I believe a "62D" in the Body Code section is the second spot that denotes the "Grabber" option. 62A denotes a standard 2-door Sedan in Maverick.


    3rd+4th of VIN / Body Code (for years 71-75)

    91 / 62A - Maverick 2-door Sedan Standard
    92 / 54A - Maverick 4-door Sedan Standard
    93 / 62D - Maverick 2-door Sport Sedan Grabber
    30 / 54B - Comet 4-door Sedan Standard
    31 / 62B - Comet 2-door Sedan Standard or GT

    thanks, I am looking at another Maverick for sale, it looks solid, it is a grabber, needs bumpers, paint, front seat bottom, it does have a/c, ps, auto, the guy wants a firm $1500 for it sounds like a pretty good deal. what do you think?
