    If some of you might remember I had a 71 4dr Mav that I started restoring about 15yrs or so ago. I kinda got side tracked with life things and forgot about it. Well last year I got a fire under my butt and with the help of the Dolls it finally got painted. I brought it home this weekend. So I will be posting on here again as I build it cause I like to share and talk about Mavs with Mav people.

Gona be the why did you do all that to a 4dr car at the shows.

    You should ask them "Haven't you ever seen a 4 door Grabber? ... Boy, they were pretty rare .... came with a Boss 302, top-loader, 9 inch ....."
    Just perpetuate the myths that are already flying around .... :D

    No,no,no .... everybody knows that Boss 302 was only available in the 4 door Grabber with a two barrel and a single pipe, because Ford didn't want to 4 doors to outsell the 2 doors.

    I can understand de-rating it like that to keep it from pulling "wheelies" at every traffic light

    Been a lot of that going on here lately :rolleyes:
