I really doubt that it would have came out with a plain grill.
Look to see if the wiring harness is still on the car for the sport lights. You should see the plug-in's for these down on the radiator support where the turn signals plug in as well. Should be a seperate plug in on each side of the car. Also look for the Grabber Light Switch under the dash.
Also, (Very Important), confirm it is a real "Grabber". Look for a "93" in the serial code as the 4th and 5th digits. If you have it, it is a Grabber, if not, you have a "Clone" (fake). I never heard of an orange and white Grabber with a "black" vinyl top.
=========================================
: I owned a 1972 grabber in 1975. It was orange on white with black vinyl
: top. the grill had sportlamps in it. I sold the car in 1982 and have
: regretted it ever since. I bought another 1972 grabber two years ago. my
: wife and son and I have been restorring it. My old grabber had bucket seats
: and automatic in the floor. This new one has auto on the column and bench
: seat. this new grabber has a plain grill with a round emblem and maverick
: symbol in it. can any one tell me if all grabbers had sport lamps
: or did some 72 grabbers come with a plain grill????
