    1971 Mav with all the trimmings....302 Auto, Custom buckets, Power Brakes, A/C, PS, Grabber hood, spoiler, and mirrors.
    I was sitting on the couch watching a little TV when I see a primer gray car drive by my house really slowly. Out of the corner of me eye and through curtains it looked like a Maverick, but I couldn't be sure, thought it could have been a Nova or something. A few minutes later, a guy pulls up in front and walks up to the house. I go outside, and sitting in my driveway is a 1974 Maverick Grabber with a factory 302, bucket seats, 5 lug axles, and front disc brakes. Pretty sweet car man. Turns out he saw my maverick on the driveway, under the car cover and just stopped by to chat with another fellow mav owner. These cars are getting more popular by the day.
