    I was working on my the Cherokee my wife drives last weekend when a guy stopped by to ask about my Maverick. Nice fellow, he told me he has two 72 V8 Grabbers. He then went to his house (a couple of miles from mine) and brought back an original paint Grabber blue 72 that has trimmed shock towers and a 351 Cleveland! He just had the suspension rebuilt with the car being lowered, front and rear sway bars, BIG Baer disc brakes, and 17" Torque Thrust II wheels and 245-45-17 tires. It was VERY beautiful. You never know what will turn up in your own area.

    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    Sounds very nice. I'm sure you told him about this board and that we all look forward to seeing the priddy pictures?

    same kind of thing happened to me, went into an auto parts store out here to get paint for my friends truck, and one of the guys working there came running out. He was BSing with me for a bit, turns out he has a 72 2dr with factory 302, but needs body work, he was surprised to see another running around, said he was going to have to get moving to get his road worthy, I guess I'll have some competition next summer
