Hello everyone, my name is Travis and my first car is a 1972 Maverick Grabber 302 auto. My father (Anthony) bought the car for $500 out of a field close to his residence. We now have the body primered and ready for paint, the car has 70,000 miles on it and it took a little to get it running but it looks like she runs strong. We now need to put a new front end on her...along with interior. Also, we are trying to get our hands on some 15" wheels and tires that would look cool with the "Grabber Green" color. I will post pictures soon, as I have read that you guys love 'em. Hopefully I can find a good bunch of people here to help out if needed, as I (unfortunately) have no knowledge what so ever on cars and my father has none what so ever on computers...so we work together. Thanks for your kindness in advance, Travis & Anthony Flora
welcome...when you say new front end, are you talking suspension parts? or does it need a new front end
just suspension.... Not a whole new front end just suspension parts. Heh, could have been clearer there. We also need to put in carpet, a dash, and new rubber for the windows and doors...windshield also has a chip in it, but a local junkyard and a nice looking one we plan on picking up sometime this week. I'll probably take pictures tomorrow as I am giong to be working on sanding the last coat of primer and maybe begin to paint it. Oh and i forgot to mention that today we picked up a like-new grabber hood (the hood with 2 scoops..says my dad...not fiber-glass or carbon-fiber, but metal) We traded some work for it from a local and repaired his fence. Only took us 3 hours.
Welcome aboard Travis. Sounds like you're going to have a real nice car there. Looking forward to the pics!!!
