    so about 2 or 3 weeks ago i was driving around in my comet. looking for people to street race. when i decided to stop at the local auto zone to pick up a copy of the latest car craft. when i pulled up there was a guy sitting there in an old charger rt. he told me about a guy who had a maverick sitting in a lot that he was wanting to get rid of. so i called the guy up the other day and went to check it out today. let me first say that it is deffinatly a utah car. alot of rust. it's a 74 maverick grabber with a 250 and auto on the collum. it has a bench seat up front and a tan interior. it was a very basic car other then the fact that it was a grabber. it didn't even have power steering. there is rust in the rear quarters and in the front fenders. the interior was actualy in really good shape. the doors have rust in them and there is a hole in the drivers side floor. it's brown with white grabber stripes. the guy said that he went to buy a couple of cars from some one and they said that he had to take the grabber if he took the other two cars. so thats how he ended up with it. he said that when he got it he put some gas in it and a battery and it started right up. he said that it smoked though. but the longer it ran the less it smoked. when he got it back to his lot he drove it off the trailer. so i think i can get it for like $50 and i was thinking of using it to learn how to do body work. if i screw it up it doesn't matter because i would give it to my brother any ways. he's in high school and wants a car. so what do you guys think should i get it or let this one pass. i really don't need another 74 parts car. already had two of those.

    If it has the sport mirrors it would be worth it too.

    Yeah the sport mirrors alone should be worth the price of the car.
