    I had this body shop call me many years ago as he was going out of business. He told me he had all thse Maverick parts he had saved over the years and he wanted to get rid of them. I took two van loads out of the place. I got MINT Grabber hoods, fenders, valences, interior parts, an NOS Grabber grill, and more.

    I am sure the seats came out of a 1971 Maverick...as I had the matching dash with VIN as well. I can't recall if it was a Grabber or not.

    What does the old style emblem look like?

    Here is the only picture I have handy .... the emblem background is chrome with the steerhead black and the swirly floral background. It is also larger in diameter than the newer emblems. I'll get a better picture when I get home from work ..
