    if it is a grabber the vin will start with 93 instead of a 91(except for 1970)

    Actually.....it doesn't START with those numbers.

    The 3rd and 4th digits of the VIN will be a 93.

    If the 5th digit of the VIN is an "F".....it is a Factory V-8 car.

    Engine has nothing to do with it. MOST Grabbers were 6 cyl cars.

    does the car still have stripes on it?

    Most grabbers were 6 cylinder cars. And only the 71 and 72 came with the so called Grabber hood. All other years were the plain hood. Grabber was really only an appearance package.:)

    The only thing I liked about the grabber package was that awesome louver hood (y) Not to sure about the rear spoiler... as its kinda a mini spoiler at best.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    The only "grabber" thing about it would be the stripes! I'd take a factory V8 car over a 6cyl 74-75 grabber any day!

    Heck my standard model maverick had more option than the grabber one for that year.
