    Okay we got FalconscjMan and 428cougarguy teaming up to buy a Grabber without title for a smoking deal and then getting the title?

    Wow, Can I say I told ya so to these other Az. guys that were draging there feet on it now?:rofl2:

    And did you guys see it on Craigslist or find it when I posted the links on this forum? Just curious if I helped find yet another Mav/Comet a new home.

    Ryan, yah I just happen to be browsing Craigslist last week for parts for my other buddies 74 2 dr. Grabber Blue Maverick, when I saw the 71 Grabber at the top of the page. I still couldn't believe it was 1 minute down the steet from where I was working!!! We'll give it a good home & fix it up, especially w/all the excellent help from everyone here on the forum!

    My buddy will post pics soon, he's giving it a good clean up & taking inventory of all we need-we especially need a driver window. We'll post a wanted ad very soon. Thanks all...:drive:

    Photos

    Here are the photos. No real rust to speak of. It looks like it has had one low dollar paint job since new, in the same yellow color. The strangest part of the car is that it has a Comet front bumper, so if someone wants to trade a Comet bumper for a Maverick one? LOL...

    That should be a great car to build up. That was an awesome score.
