    I have been lusting after this car for 10 years, and the seller finally relented. I had the car bought 10 years ago. Went home to get the money and a car trailer, called him and he changed his mind. :(

    This time I showed up with a trailer and cash in hand!!

    1974 Ford Maverick Grabber

    302 V-8, Automatic with Factory Floor Shift, Factory Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Tan Super Soft Vinyl High Back Bucket Seat interior, Medium Yellow Gold with white Grabber stripes, Light convenience group (dual map lights, under dash lights, hood light, trunk light, and ash tray light), Factory AM/FM Mono radio (that‘s right Mr. Dan Hines!! :) ), and Cragars (of course). Interior is all original as well as 95% of the exterior paint and stripes.

    Previous owner bought the car back in 1986 from the Ford dealership where my Dad works.

    Raining here today so I will get some pictures next weekend.
