    went a few counties over to guys house that just so happened to have a few mavericks laying around :D needless to say that they're all rough but some have some good parts, that ill be getting tomorrow :yup:

    here's what i found:
    1970 Grabber, grabber green with white stripes, 200
    1971 Grabber, factory red with white striped, 250
    1974 Grabber, white with orange stripes -would have bought it but too far gone :(- 302
    1974 2dr, blue with blue interior, 250
    1972 Comet 2dr, brown with tan interior, 250


    im going back after a nice black dash pad, comet front bumper, sport lamp switch, probably the sport mirrors, and anything else that i can afford :thumbs2:

    the guys also had some other neat finds too. only took a few pictures, too busy running around looking for mavs. he also restores fastback mustangs as well, and has about 10 sitting around :rolleyes: all 65-68



    btw, here's the pictures....

    Cool looking tractor!

    Oh, wait, I am supposed to be looking at the Mavericks...

    Rear bumper and grabber spoiler on the red one look ok.

    The last one...whazzat? Looks MOPARish.

    Shame about the Comet grille. I hope to find a good small bumper donor car someday. I see a Sprint bench too.

    Man that's a shame about the 57 Retractable. Looks like there would still be some good parts on it. David, BTW if you run across any 61 or 62 Galaxies, could use some parts. It's good to have a set of eyes in KY to spot these kind of things. - Matt

    What kind of steering wheel is on the 70 Grabber? I'd be interested if it was the three spoke rimblow.
