    LDO is a trim option for the Mavericks and they came with a more upscale, plush seat. He has removed the track from the original seats and used them to mount the new seats in the car.

    I'm getting to re-install these seats. I had them covered in 1977 to try to match my car. They weren't a perfect match to my grabber green but that was the best he could come up with 38 years ago and it was close enough for me. I put a lot of miles on my grabber sitting in them.
    Fast Forward to Hurricane Katrina.
    My green Grabber got covered with 8 ft of water. I really had given up on any thoughts of being able to save this car until recently. I am now in the process of resurrecting my 1971 Grabber Green Maverick and this photo of the seats are what they look like after a simple cleaning. Yes, these seats were covered 38 years ago, survived a major hurricane, and will ride again! :)

    Just finished swapping in a 74 LDO Brown interior into my Blue 77. My local ColorGlo rep did a great job with the vinyl color change. I removed the Cat. hump in the 77 and replaced it with the floor panel from the 74.

    My seats are from a later model Mustang from a junkyard. $50.00 for the seats....mounted them on Maverick seat tracks.
