    That's funny, because I'm sure I've seen a blue pair from a car with a blue interior. Kind of a grey/blue.

    I don't know. Maybe they died them also. Towards the end of the Mav production span I know there are some buckets which look similar to these, but have a different style headrest, and a couple other smalle differences. Maybe it was one of those.:confused:

    Seats look great Dave........And actually yes they did offer the ldo option in either 1 or 2 more colors......I know the blue/grey color was one.......and was'nt there a red shade as well..........We actually got into this discusion at the last Round up........And the seats that Matt are refering to are setting in mavmarks garage at home.......on their way to Neals........some time this decade:D

    Wow, thanks for the heads up guys! You do learn something everyday. :) Do you have a pic of the blue/gray? I am just curious because I can't say I have ever seen one. Thanks.

    Like I've said before, never make a definate statement about these cars. It's best to start the statement with "I think". I got tired of tasting dirt.

    Hey, I just bought a 75 302 Grabber that has these seats and wood grain door panels....its cool. I have never seen a grabber with this deluxe of an interior. It also has a floor shifter. It is totally original. Is this rare? I hope not, I am planning on parting it out. Interior is in perfect condition, actually, everything is in perfect condition except for the rust. Perfect dash, grille, mirrors, headliner, bumpers....I love it but to much rust for me. Comments please......

    Oh...the seats are black.

    I believe the 75 Grabber is the rarest of the grabbers. Actually I think it was the rarest Maverick out of all the models including Sprints, Stallions and Grabbers.
