    Looking for 73 Mav Grabber
    My first new car was a 73 Maverick Grabber I bought off an Augusta, GA dealership showroom floor with my own money during my senior year of high school in 1972. I turn 50 next month and am wanting to re-live some of my lost youth and THAT car. I am trying to find one of these bad boys and found this site......Soooo...if anybody comes across this car I would sure be interested in buying it for myself on my birthday.

    Good luck on the hunt ... Not a big fan of non 71/72 Grabbers but I would love to have a mint 73 Grabber with Orange Bucket Interior!

    Cool story...I love '73 Grabbers. Driving these old cars really bring back the memories in a great way. Get one with an old original AM radio and rock out with one speaker while cruising around... you'll feel like your back in 1972.
