    They probably are, but it is hard to tell without seeing them ourselves. Most Grabbers, as you probably are aware of, came with high back bucket seats.

    Actually...I would say most Grabbers DID NOT come with bucket seats. It was an option, just like on any other Maverick.

    My Grabber is a 71' and it has them, but it was built toward the end of the model year . . . in August of 71'. A special order vehicle.

    my 71 Grabber has those same seats. Unfortunately, only the passenger's seat is usable.... I hope to get them redone someday in the original pattern, because i really do like them.

    seats

    They are just like the ones on my 72 Comet Gt. Does anyone know where to get upholstery for just the front seats in white ?

    Usually the white vinyl is a standard fabric that any good upholstry shop has. If your inserts are a special type you can try SMS Auto Fabrics in Oregon, 503-234-1175. They had the blue material for my Sprint.

    hmmm.

    I think I have a set of those same seats.
    Came out of a '69 Mustang.
    I haven't looked at them for a while, but I do believe those are the ones.
