...who are in a hurry to extract whatever part they need to sell. I is maddening to see perfectly good parts (that are so rare) ruined by these boneyard boneheads. I guess that is why they work there - too stupid to get a better job;)
: I know that we have all done it, but with fewer and fewer Mavericks out there it is getting harder and harder to find parts.
: I found a '71 Grabber in the junkyard in Hayward, CA today. Unfortunately, the hood and spoiler were gone. What pisses me off is the fact that some bone head was in too much of a rush to get the few parts of that he wanted. In stead of unplugging wires he/she cut them all. To get to the inside vent, it was easier to break the parcel shelf off rather than unbolt it. What really sucked was the Mav had a good black Grabber grill with sport lamps. To get the hood latch off it was much easier for the inconsiderate SOB to break the grill.
: There arn't too many of these cars around any more. I remember passing by Grabbers in the junkyard. How I wish I would have bought them now.
: Next time you are at the junkyard, have some consideration for the next guy who may need some parts. What comes around goes around.
