Driving down the ave today and I saw this grabbar orange way up front traffic was getting heavy so i could only get behind him and take the picture, it had the c-stripes on it but when i read it, it said grabber, instead of boss. and the back said grabber to...it was a pretty sweet car. Right when this light turned green he burnt out and took off...just thought id share with you guys. ah there we go..

what do those mavericks have under the hood?

Mine has a 1995 HO Roller engine dressed up to look like a factory 71. From the factory the largest engine was a 302 ... same as a Mustang. Nowadays ... guys generally go with a stroked 302 or stroked 351 if you modify the shock towers. Here's my standard 302 ...

That's a sweet lookng car dhmines. My uncle had a 69 grabber Maverick in Orange. I thought it was pretty cool at the time. You don't see too many mavericks any more.

Love that Grabber! As a 7 y/o(1972) my uncle took me, my parents, older sister and cousin(his son) to L.A. from San Diego and I was sitting bitch(center up front) and I vividly remember him hauling *** up the 5 freeway(this was before the 55mph mandatory speed limit). His was a '71(first year, if I'm not mistaken, of the 302 option in the Maverick) 2 door in dark teal with a black vinyl top & hoods-tooth interior. Kicked butt IMO. I love to see Mavericks(and Comets too) of the 70's.
Very nice job resto-modding your Grabber. Good luck with the V-6.

Cut him some slack. They probably stopped building Mavericks before he was born.
