    Just got my Marti Report today. Car was built 01/11/71 and sold at a dealer in Covina, CA. It was ordered with an NOX Emission System ... What is that? I see nothing out of the ordinary on the car ...

    That is EGR. Probably required for California.

    NOX, oxides of nitrogen. caused by higher than normal combustion chamber temperatures. effiectively controlled by diluting the incoming air/fuel, using good old exhaust gas recirculation. Long live the EGR. (y)

    Hmm .. according to Marti only 2,401 Mavericks were ordered with it ... Couldn't have just been a California thing ..

    I bet if you read his report....it is 2401 of the 1971 Grabbers ever made.

    Yeah Craig ... your right. That comes out to 6.2% of Grabbers built had NOX so I guess it was a Californy thing ... BTW ... 8,453 Grabbers were Bright Red in 1971 .. that is almost 22%! Since the Bright Red was used in all of the Sales Brochures I guess the advertising worked well ...

    Here's the info on my car .. Also note that almost 25% of Grabbers came with the lowly 200/C4 combo for a drivetrain ...
