    I just seen a Maverick that the guy said was a 71 maverick Grabber with a 200 inline 6. I thought maverick grabbers were 302's only? Can someone clarify that for me? If thats the case My car could be a grabber.

    They made more Grabbers with a 6 than they did with a V8

    Great thank you guys!! Hopefully I have a grabber, I doubt I do, but it would be nice. Im not sure if grabbers have the side rail thing thats on both sides of the car. Mine had that on both sides, but I took them off and welded the holes. I will let you guys know what I find out tonight. Only $1,000 left until im up and driving her again.:yahoo:
