I heard about it too but haven't gotten around to buying one yet! These cars are starting to become fairly popular

Let me tell you this. I have had 3 other Mavericks over the years and really liked them all! But most people didn't share my love! Now sence I've had this one on the road I have had more people just come up and say hey nice Car or if they know what it is they will say nice Maverick!! Yesterday there was a swap meet in bristol Ct. I parked my car in the Cars for sale area with no intent on selling but for 5 bucks I could keep my car within eye sight! I left no price or phone numbers on it when I came back I have 4 hand written inquaries with numbers and guy waited for me he offered 4 grand on the spot! I said thank you but its not for sale. When I got home and started to tell my wife and son about it they jumped in before I could get to the part about thanks but no thanks and said you better not sell that car!! Out of all the cameros,mustangs,vetts,chevelles,novas! There was only one MAV!!

Mine's a 'real' Grabber but honestly the Grabber package is all stripes and badges, nothing special anywhere else. The entire drivetrain and suspension is unchanged from the base model. You could get a 200-6 Grabber with 2.79:1 rear gears

Thats why I feel pretty good about mine becouse I have used all the original parts to make mine look like the "real thing" The only thing I wish I had is later model grabber hood! Mine will be painted with the 70 grabber blackout for now!

I know. My brother's Grabber had a 200 I6 and three on the tree. Grabbers have cool hoods, too! ------------------

Hey Steve cool pic of your sprint doing a shot in the street! If I had a camera I would get some of my Mav. ripping the tires off! In front of my house!
p.s. The guy that lives next to me must really like me?
