    hey guys. So I just bought a maverick yesterday. 1974 grabber. She's sittin in my garage right now
    I just figured I'll prolly need some help at some point, trying to restore her and all, and I might as well find a forum where I can get some info. I have big plans for this car. And it's gunna take a lot of work. A whole lotta work. But maybe whenever I get stuck y'all can give me some ideas haha. Besides, I don't know but at 24 I may be one of the youngest guys on here. Maybe not. I don't know

    Thanks guys.
    So, out of curiosity, is there any market for maverick parts? I'm going to be gutting mine this weekend to fix rust and quite a bit is going to go. The engine and trans are both going (200 inline 6 and 3 speed auto, 80k miles) and all the seats. Which are blue leather. Not a tear or crack in them actually

    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada! Post the stuff you aren't keeping, in the Classified section of the Forum. I'm sure someone will be looking for something you have...

    Would love to see some pictures of your car and your progress!
