    Hello Maverick Nuts,
    Please help me with pictures and information. We are working on a new 1:64 scale Maverick Grabber. We need some pictures showing the stripe schemes and hoods for the grabber. We will probably be doing a 1970-1972 model. Could someone please point out the differences? For example, when were the different hoods offered and how many different ones were there? Paint schemes offered for Grabbers during those years? Etc.
    Thanks a lot,
    Lee

    PS. Will post more info and pictures as work on model is progressing.

    ViperGTS; is this a resin, plastic or what model? I dabble in these things, and cannot find a Mav model anywhere. If you have a source, let me know. Thanks,

    Earl

    Is this for Mass production by a Toy Company?? Or something you are doing for yourself? 71-72 is the way to go since they had the unique Grabber scooped hood, rear spoiler and sport mirrors. Go back to http://www.maverick.to and check out all of the pictures and links. There are tons of Maverick pictures. The correct paint scheme will be a solid color with stripes on both sides and the hood. The rear tail light panel was generally blacked out - but some were colored to match the stripes.
