    I bet those Stabbers were black with red accents. Now what about if they had made a Maverick "Spanker"??? :idea:

    BTW those Bearcat's wheels are awesome!

    I found the Thrush pipes on Ebay.
    Now where are those Bear Cat wheels at?
    Foresight's Prowler wheels is what the advert says. Google has nothing.

    71 Stabber

    I own a 71 Stabber. My cousin bought it new in July of 71 from Pugmire Lincoln/Mercury in Marietta Ga. It is indeed called Stabber not Bearcat. Other dealers may have called them that, including Jackie Jones. Austin Pugmire (current owner) will confirm this. The sidepies on these were not real but covers. Instead they had dealer installed Thrush cherry bombs, black slotted mags, a chin spoiler and a wood grain three spoke steering wheel. My car is black with silver stripes.
