    You know, the body ain't that bad........put a new quarter panel on there.........paint it....put some wheels on there........Actually, that's one of the better looking Mavericks out there (besides the ones that have been saved by those of us here) You know what I mean? I'd LIKE to find one in that kind of shape! Preston

    There should be another billboard about mile away with a fully restored, beautiful Grabber on it with the announcement, " It ain't ugly anymore!"

    Well, I gather it's not the only sign! There's one on Interstate 10, just west of the Louisiana state line when entering Texas on the westbound side. With these two sightings, I'm sure there's more. :oops:

    that is pretty funny. I laughed my butt off because I opened it in front of my partners here at work and they are always razzing me about Mavs so we just all got a good laugh out of it.

    Country: The billboard is about 15 miles, at most, on our side of the line according to my daughter who saw it returning from a volleyball tournament in New Orleans. (It definitely wasn't as far as Beaumont).
