    1973 Maverick Grabber
    Hey guys,I'm a newbie here, so just thought I would introduce to you what I have. I got myself a project to work with which is a 1 owner '73 Maverick Grabber. This one was my Mothers car that she had bought new in '73 @ Fairway Ford. It is a 3 spd on the column with a factory 302. The car is basically stock right now, other than the glasspacks. Here is what I am starting with.

    :Welcome:

    Great car! I'll be the first to extend an invitation to bring it out to Fun Ford Weekend, Saturday, April 12 at the Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, GA. I believe it would be less then a two hour drive for you. Your car does not have to be a show car to bring it, all Mavericks and Comets are welcome. Click on the link in my signature for more info.
