    I just acquired a 1973 2-door grabber. My understanding is that the hood scoops were discontinued in 1972. I like the look of the scoops. Anyone know if a 72 hood will work on a 73 grabber? Any suggestions on keeping original hood or switching it out for the 72?

    All Maverick hoods are interchangeable.

    Should I go original or what I think looks good?

    It's your car, do what you like. There are certain people that will get all wound up, no matter what you do, but who cares what they think.

    I think if it were a 73 hood I would like it because it was original, but not because I thought it looked good. I'm leaning toward the scoops.
