    Can anyone tell me if this is a Grabber grille, what year it might be, and if it's not from a Grabber, what is it?
    Thanks.

    I believe it's a 73-75 standard Maverick grille. The Grabber grilles would have clear (not amber) lenses. Also, the Grabber grille would have had blacked-out trim around the lamps, not the silver, as pictured here.

    The grille looks to be in excellent shape! I hope this helps.

    A 73, 74 & 75 Grabber would have the amber lenses.

    As well as being cast in black plastic. Looks like a 1973-1975 Grabber grill to me.

    You and Dave are right! I never even clicked-in to it being black...all I was thinking of was 71-72 Grabbers. Sorry, John--my bad. I'm going back to bed now! :D
