    1974 Maverick Grabber
    Hello, My name is Joe. I was refered here by a guy named Willie. I kinda of met through the Maverick/Comet club. Im not new mavericks though as I own a 1974 Maverick Grabber. Its white with black stripes and interior. 302 V8 Modified to make 310 HP. Automatic, A/C, PS,DB Deluxe Int/decor group Bench seat/column shift, tinted glass Vinal top, AM radio, Cregar SS wheels, 33,322 miles. Orginal Paint, trim, interior. The engine in the orgina but modified. I bought this car the way it is and I very lucky to have it. To make it short, My first new car was a 74 Red/black 302 Grabber. I owned it from 8-74 to 8-88 when I let it go for $4500 to buy a 1988 Mustang GT a very big mistake. Well I have Much to say but, it will have to be later. Im thrilled to be a part of this and cant wait to hear from everyone! Thanks! Willie!

    I think by arriving a month early it would be a show of anxiety. Wonder if Dennis is going in June, maybe starting a new trend? Could the Roundup eventually be a summer long event someday? Dan

    We drive right by there on the way to my house every year. We will drive by there on the way to the dragstrip. That was one of the locations I had considered for the "day cruise" on Friday. Maybe next year.

    I do believe that somebody from the local RC club will be out at Wilbur Wright birthplace on Friday when we are out there. I think they are bringing out some planes to fly. Maybe they will hand you the controls for a "test flight" :D
