    Hi,

    I'm in the Seattle area, and just bought a 71 Maverick Grabber in Grabber Lime (favorite year, favorite color). I'm learning about repair and restoration, so I look forward to reading through the forums and picking your collective brains. :)

    Yep, that's it! Virtually no rust, and only a couple of dents. I'm really happy with it so far.

    Glad I joined the forums - as I said, I'm just learning and so had never heard of a Marti-Report. Thanks for mentioning that! But I am interested in knowing about the combo...I will likely order one.

    :Welcome: from central VA!

    Nice looking car! I would definitely get a Marti Report for the car, definitely worth the money. Should be a pretty rare paint/trim combo.

    A great car to begin with. My Dad's first Grabber was the same year and color. I remember picking it up new at the dealer.
