    That's going to be a tough one to find, but you have came to the right place.

    Welcome Jim,

    My wife also had an orange with black Grabber for her H/S ride back in 1983. I can't say that she has fond memories of Mavericks.

    theres a orange and black grabber here with newly done orange and black interior thats KINDA for sale. the guy went to jail/prison and needs money for his bills inside. it is not a 6cyl car though. I checked it out doesnt look too bad original paint outside I would say. its definitely a 289-302 engine under the hood with some goodies on it. I dont remember seeing any rust but I didnt get to open it up and inspect every thing.

    not sure what he wants for it but was told he spent $2500 before rebuilding the motor and transmission.

    good luck if youre looking for the exact same one youll prolly never find it.
    if you remember a license plate number or if you knew the vin or had a copy of the old registration that could help.
