    I was contacted by a lady who's brother had died and was into Mavericks. She said he has 3 cars and a lot of parts but the cars are in pretty bad shape. His house is about 30 minutes away from me, so I went out to see what he had. Well, the cars are pretty rough but I dont know for sure how bad until I get them home. There is two 70 Grabbers and a Sprint. All 6 cylinder automatics. The mother load is in parts though. For NOS stuff, I got 3 quarter panels, a set of quarter skins, tail light panel, spoiler, set of door skins, 2 sets of fender well moldings, 3 or 4 gas caps, 3 or 4 grill medallions, standard grill, argent sport light grill, and a chromed LDO grill. NOn NOS stuff includes 9 hoods, 3 of them grabber, about a dozen fenders, 3 sets of doors, 4 sets of v8 frame mounts, box full of clutch parts including V8 hard to find parts, about 20 more grills, box full of gas caps and grill medallions. 1 set of high back buckets, and 1 set of LDO buckets. about a dozen bumpers. a few valances. There is so much stuff I cant even begin to take it all in. Its going to take me at least 3 more trips to get it all home.

    Might as well give me all the Grabber hoods ... you don't like them anyway! :)

    Congrats on the haul! Are any of the 70 Grabbers the original models with the 3-spoke Rim-blow horn?

    One good thing about it is that the stuff is going to someone who treasures it instead of the guys family just throwing it all away to get rid of it.:)
