: on saturday night my house burned to the ground, included in my loss is one 1971 maverick grabber, burned to a crisp.
: I havent even triewd looking at the motor and tranny due to the fact that I have been picking throught the ashes of what was once my home, I will be selling the maverick off in a few days,
: one of the local mav nuts has 1st dibs on the car provided that his wife will let him bring another one home, the car is gutted, the fire melted the hood scoops out and melted the mirroers off, it did not melt the spoiler or end caps tho, all of the glass exploded out and the gas tank ruptured, the mav gas cap lost the emblem on it as well.
: basically the car is shit, and even tho Ive spent 3 years and over 6k on it I am calling it a complete loss, neither the car nor the contents of the house were insured so I am cutting my losses and selling the only thing that I can.......... like I said, I will know this afternoon if the local mav guy will be getting this car, the only conditions to my selling it is that it is the whole car that goes, no parts, I have a title, well half of the title survived, with all the #'s on it, I can easily get the new title, I will NOT sell this car to a crusher as it is an original Grabber and one of the 1st 2,000 with the Grabber package built, it would make a good start for someone.
: I lost all of my computers in the fire so my e-mail replies will be rather slow, but I will be cheking in the MMB periodicly, please keep me in your prayers.

:Count on prayer from my family for you and yours. I know it's easier said then done but try to remember that "...in all things God works for the good of those who love him" (Rom.8:28). Believe that and look for the ways he will use these difficult circumstances to bless you beyond what you could ever imagine, or believe possible if you hadn't seen it for yourself. John B.
