    :bowdown:Hi
    My name is Ricky from Hartselle, Alabama and I am the second owner of a 1975 Marverick Grabber with only 39,000 miles on it. I though that the grabbers only came with the 302 V8 but this one came with the 250 cid 6 cld. And I was told that he ordered it that way and I know that he purchered it new and it had nevered been repainted when i brough it and it had the grabber strips and grabber wrote on the hood and fenders.
    I hope that someone out there can tell me if the Grabbers came with 6 cld. that year. I also need a new carb. for it but there is not a tag on the carb. and the parts stores said that there was 3 dif. carbs for thev 250 cid that year and they would have to have the tag # to be able to order one . If any one could tell me how to find the right carb I sure could use the help .
    Thanks Ricky 1975 Meverick after being painted.3 jpg.jpg

    Nice car! Welcome to the board. Yes, Grabbers came standard with 6 cylinders. The V8 was an option in all Mavs, Grabbers included. The Grabber package was an appearance package only. (y)

    Yes, there were different carbs. Is the carb on there rebuildable? Are there any carb guru's in your town? Pull your air cleaner off and get a closeup shot of the carb from the 2 sides and post it on here. Someone can identify it I am sure. Welcome to the board.

    Nice Car! The rarest of the Grabbers, is a 75.
    You must have buffed it up pretty good, it looks much better in some of those pictures compared to others. It may have had some paint work, but it's hard to really tell in those pic's. Either was, it's a very nice car!
