I'm back with a 73 Grabber

I have to say, I'm doing my Pinto wagon, originally in brown, in the brightest yellow I could find with blacked out windows. It's getting a modern power plant upgrade to a 2.3 EFI out of a fox body. The interior is gonna be black and yellow. Some people hate, I love it.

My Boss 302 was in grabber blue, so this Maverick will be also. I remember when I was young and driving my Mustang, I would see this grabber blue grabber Maverick and I loved it. It had C stripes on it, haven't seen another since that one. I want it the same as that one, it was a pretty awesome car to be honest.

So what's cool is I'm finding some of the Maverick parts from the 70 that I brought from some folks here like the black seatbelt set and some rubber. So this will be awesome in grabber blue, I will do the seats with black and grabber blue maybe, haven't decided that yet.

So I guess it will reflect my personality, jacked up in the back also with huge tire. Basically I want a car that looks like someone played with it and modified it back in the 70s Gotta have a hurst shifter and everything else to make it mine I'm pretty excited about this project and what I plan on

 

Thanks mav1970 It's good to be back!

 

It'll handle much better of you lower the front instead of jacking up the rear, & stuff as fat a tire that will fit inside the sheetmetal.

That's cool that you're putting a 2.3EFI in your pinto.

Those color schemes sound attractive.

 

That's the Pinto, hopefully painted tonight!

Thanks, I hope I thought them out well

 

Looks good Diane so far. I like yellow too. I am painting my Maverick yellow.
There is another pinto wgn sitting down here that you could probably buy right.

 

Where? Wagon? What year? Pencil bumpers or big ones?

 

Here in Twin Falls. I knew that would get your attention.
I'll check on it tomorrow for you.

 

Thanks, I looked on CL there and didn't see it. Let me know. I don't have room anymore, sold all my cars and loaded up again LOL But my neighbor is looking for one that's a runner. He offered me $1,500 for mine ahahahaha

 

Here ya go...... http://panamacity.craigslist.org/cto/4871439088.html

 

Crusin' wagons are cool, but I really don't like those bumpers. They can be tucked though!

 

A picture of my functional stock hood scoop. I've added a K&N air cleaner top since the picture was taken.

 

That looks great honestly! Nice compartment! I did black in the engine bay on my Pinto, it does look good in black instead of trying to something else.

 

The PO cut the hood opening so I suppose one could say it's functional...

Normally they are just decoration...

 

I see I'm not the only one with a fondness for Cleveland style valve covers.

Looks nice.

 

I'd be interested
