Noticeable improvement. Now lose those ridiculous front bumper guards, get a Grabber rear spoiler, and put a set of nice wheels & tires on it......
Your original wheels are 14"×4.5". if you want wider tires, you need wider wheels, in which case might as well go with 15-inch (or 17-inch if...
'73 Grabbers had the spoiler...
Well the "proof is in the pudding". My Maverick will be 50 years old in January and has never developed any cracks in the spring towers, and the...
