A friend of mine runs a small Ford only wrecking yard, I stopped by today, & he has a fairly interesting 70 Maverick that just came in. It is Grabber Orange with a black bench seat interior, with a 250 6cyl., auto on the column, but it only has 4 lug wheels. Years ago, I had a 71 Maverick, with a 250 ("L" engine code), that had 5 lug. Also, it has dual "Sport mirrors", a black grill, rear spoiler, with the rear tail light panel painted black, the small Ford Motor Company "dog dish" hubcaps with beauty rings, and a non scooped hood, with faded hood stripes. Could this be a "Grabber"? I always thought that all the Grabbers had the dual non functional hood scoops. Oh yeah, it also has a 3 spoke "rim blow" steering wheel, which I have never seen on a Maverick before. The car had been sitting in a carport since 1972, it still has the original "Autolite" dist cap on, & is completly original looking, other than the battery & lower rad hose! Unfortunatly, there is rust on the rear wheelwells, & under the hood on the shock towers, but the fenders & doors are cherry! Man, I wish I had a bit more room.....------------------
