    Do all Grabbers have the vents in the hood , rear spoilers, and V8's from the factory? I am curious. :hmmm:

    '70 had the spoiler
    '71-'72 had scooped hoods and spoilers.
    '73 had the spoiler
    '74 - '75 had neither
    Grabbers were never V-8 specific.

    V8 and buckets were an option on the 71+ Grabbers. The Grabber package was an appearance package, nothing else.

    So all exterior stuff! So does a 71 have sport lamps and dual sport mirrors?
    The other options would include hard top etc then . . . wonder how you can find how many of what options were sold?
    BTW, Thanks for the schooling! :tiphat:

    V8 was not even an option in 1970 - all cars, Grabber or not, were I6

    :cool:

    Yup, a 71 & 72 Grabber package is virtually identical except for some differences in the stripes.

    Yes.

    I would say the majority of Grabbers built were probably I6 cars with bench seats.

    WOW!!!:90:What a misunderstanding I had in mind. I corrected a guy selling a Grabber on ebay and made myself sound stupid. It had no vents in the hood and no rear spoiler. :sorry:

    Also no such thing as a hardtop maverick. All Mav's have framed windows and center posts.
