    Maverick miles

    My Maverick Grabber has just 33,664 miles! Im one of the luck guys that found an orginal unrestored car in excellent condition. I had the car appraised in May of 03 at $10,000.00. This may help some of you with market value questions. My car is a 74 Grabber, V8 auto. air PS DB Tinted glass Vinal top, deluxe interior/bench seat AM radio:D Joe

    1 owner 73 Comet GT-ordered w/ every option, 77 Comet 2 dr V-8, 64 1/2 mustang conv, 7 other mustangs
    Lots of miles

    I quit driving my 73 GT in 1985 and it only had 250,000 miles on it then. It's waiting a resto, but still runs. The 77 we have now had 47K on it 3 years ago and now has about 80K. They are driven, not used for display! My 64 1/2 Mustang conv has 200,000+ miles that I have put on it since 1989 and is still a daily driver.

    Million mile Mav?

    Last week my wife's uncle told me there was a guy near his home town of Euhling, NE that had over 1,000,000 miles on a 71 Grabber. Of course being a skeptic of such claims I asked him to get some more info for me and even see if they were interested in selling it. Of course as the story goes it is sitting in a barn right now. I'll see if I can find out more if he ever gets back to me with any legitimate information.
