    No Maverick, yet. DD is a '95 Mustang GT convertible
    Just wanted to drop by and introduce myself. I've always had a softspot for the maverick Grabbers and now that my youngest son is starting to look at cars for his first ride, I showed him a pic of a Grabber. He now wants one, so I thought I'd start looking for a "mild project" for us. I'm currently knee deep, OK, neck deep, into a restoration project on a 1966 Mustang GT Fastback, hence the ScottsGT name. I have to say, I'm shocked to see the following the old Mavericks still have. Anyone know of a cheap 71-72 Grabber with a V8, let me know! Budget is tight with 4 kids and a wife in Grad School.
    BTW, I'm not afraid of a little bodywork, I use to have a bodyshop wayyyyy back before the career change!

    Welcome aboard! :Handshake There are a few out there for sale, probably pretty close to you too. Keep a close check on eBay and Craigslist. Always some there.
