    Well i took on another project maverick. I had seen this one for sale before and Duck Tape pasted it and reminded it of me Sorry Duck Tape Mav but it was to good of a car to part out and you probably could make it back in the parts. The door panels ripped seats are ripped front bumper is destroyed the car has been wrecked engine is stuck but it is a good place to start and looks sharp some though it was a grabber clone but the car is 100% original I even found the build sheet shoved up in the seats. The car Has grabber seats grabber door panels and a floor shifter. They ordered it that way.:bowdown:
    So here are some pictures i picked it up for a large sum lol including the wheels and it looks like a good project the engine is almost already unstuck ill have it running and driving and looking good in a week it already looks sharp. It didnt have a hood i stopped in on a guy i know that had a hood i paid $75 for it. Once again Duck Tape Mav just couldnt see another ride get parted out.

    Sorry the pictures suck i just got home and its dark.

    Trim Code is 9E - Vermilion - Cloth and Vinyl Bucket
    And Color Code is M=White so it all seems to be original!
