    Hello everyone! My name is Gregg and I am new to this forum. Though not new to owning a Maverick. Bought mine when I was 16 for 1,000. Saved up all summer for it and purchased a 1972 Maverick Grabber. Was originally yellow but had been painted blue. Don't know why. But I've had it for almost ten years now and still haven't been able to do much to it other than keep it running (was a project when I bought it). And now I am running into the problem of being able to find replacement parts. Anyone know a good site or anything to find replacement parts? Currently looking at interior first. Any help would be great, thanks!

    welcome from the mitten!

    grabber parts are tough, but other than the hood and spoiler any maverick will work as a donor ;)
