Okay, so the guy who sold me my mav ahs been on the look out for me...He found one 3 miles down the road from where he is...He checked it out for me and said that it is a 73 Grabber(blue)...Fender and grill need work...Its in running condition...I am going out there to buy it on Tuesday...I am buying it sight unseen, I trust the guy and besides, I am getting it for a meer $250... I am anxious to see it...I will post pics of it when I get home!
for $250 you can't really lose. even if it turns into a parts car you will get your money back many times over. congrats.
Yes, it really is becoming an obssesion...Thank goodness we can leave it at his house if need be...I dont know how well it runs, but it is 70 miles through desert and mountains to get here from there...If I can just pick off odds and ends here and there for my car, it will be worth it...If I decide to part it, I will let you guys have the first crack at the parts(cuss I am sweet like that ) I really cant buy another one after this, because i dont have the luxury of a garage...I live in a shared community and eventhough they are laid back..all vehicles must be running,tagged, and insured(as well as smogged )so, we will see what happens...It makes me want to move back to Louisiana...we own a home there out in the country and I can already imagine my three acres filled with mavs HELP ME...I need M.A.(Mavaholics Annonymous)
Nice find. Isn't it great how these cars just seem to find you. That's how I got all mine. After I found the first one....
congratulations. i've got a lead on a 71 grabber that is supposed to be in near perfect condition bodywise, no running gear. for about $600. we'll see.
Thanks ST I think hubby wants to get his hands on this one...Maybe I can talk him into getting rid of his HUGE 77 Lincoln Continental...(it is in great shape, but its too big for me to handle) His boss at work came up to him the other day and said "I need to borrow your car" Hubby was like okay...then his boss added "I have a couple of bodies I need to get rid of"...Yea, its that big
Congrats, you'll be filling up many acres soon I'm sure. I think the disease is progressing faster with you than anyone I've seen yet! I want a sticker with the SG warning to put on my car! :-D
Working on getting #4 as we speak, #5 should be sometime this summer. How do I do it? I'm in Mav's up to my eyeballs, somebody help me...
Excellent deal! There seem to be pockets of these cars out there, as it seems like some folks just come upon them easily. Only ones I've found here are either rust buckets or overpriced (usually both). Congrats on your new purchase and be sure to take plenty of pics for us! Sam
