In my opinion I don't think it's a 73 to begin with. The interior is identical to my 71. Right down to the door panels. The package tray kind of threw me for a loop too. (Isn't a glove compartment standard from 73 up?) I thought that was from 69-72's. I could be wrong but... Also isn't there a lot involved in the removal of a 73 and replacement of a 69-72 front bumper. That would involve the replacement of the fenders as well or at least some modification.
I think I'm getting off track with this but thats some of what I seen from the pics.
: In my opinion, the car is not a true 1973 Maverick Grabber. I base this on three reasons. Here's a little mind teaser for you. How can I tell? What 3 things reveal it is a fake? I will have you all post answers and I will post the answer later on.
: On a side note, it does look to be a real nice car and worth the $1000 starting price. You can't touch a nice paint job and new bumpers for that.
