I am not really sure why Ford dropped the two scooped hood in 1973. It could be because "Muscle Cars" were going out or were totally "out" by then. Also, they might have figured that Mavericks were going to sell just as well without them, so why have the extra expence.

: : I am not exactly sure what you are posting....but 1973 Grabbers did not have scoops on the hood. Only the 1971 and 1972.

: : : I found this at the old messsage board. The 1973 Grabbers did have scoops on the hood.
: Griag: I think he's talking about a old post where I said the first Grabber was a Mustang,as far as the hood scoops go to the best of my knowledge only the 1971&72 Mavericks had them. I have seen a # of 1973s and not one of them had the scoops,don't know why Ford dropped this great looking hood,maybe to save it later on for the Mustang's .As we can see to this day on all the new one's
