    Took my Maverick to a local car cruise tonight. Ran into another guy with his Grabber there. Very nice all original one owner 72 white with gold and orange grabber stripes with factory 302 and 3 speed manual in the floor black interior with bench seat. Very clean car. His name is Bob. He ordered the car in 1971 while still in Vietnam so it would be there when he got home. Nice guy and very nice Grabber. Cool story behind it too. I can't figure out how to post pics from
    my phone. Will post them as soon as I can. Sorry.
    Thanks

    Always cool when you run into a 1-owner Maverick that still has the original owner!!

    I can post a picture of it now that I am at my desk top. The guys name is Bobby and he lives in Monongahela PA just a few miles from me and Coop. He comes out to Mineral Beach quite often he says. I told him about the forum and the different Maverick Clubs that he could join, but I do not think he was real interested in anything related to the computers. It is a very nice clean all original Grabber that he special ordered new in 1971.
