    My first new car was a 1974 Maverick Grabber. I was 17 years old! I sold it in 1988. In 2002 I bought the "74 Maverick Grabber I have now. I am 49 years old now. In 1982 I was given a "74 Maverick 4 door I used for work for a few years. !974 was a very good year!

    When we were looking to buy our first house(this one) we had to have at least a 1 stall garage for the Maverick. That's all I got, one stall. I guess I should have said 5 stall.

    Well, 1 Mav, 2 Comets, 2 F 150's, 4VW Bugs, 1 PT Cruiser, 1 International semi truck, numerous parts cars and parts. FORD is the majority of the stuff, with the VW's throwed in for variety. Dedicated to restomoding the Mav, building a drag Comet, and hooked on this board! :dance:

    I guess I would be the exception. I am a Ford guy first, Maverick wasy down the line. I love 69-70 Mustangs(my true automotive love), I love 67-69 Cougers, 65-66 Fastback Mustangs I love 64, 66-67 Comets, 61 Starliners, 63-64 fastback Galaxies, certain Mavericks, especially Grabbers, 72 Gran Torinos, 68-69 fastback Torinos, and AC Cobras.

    I bought my Maverick because of price and condition, but would trade it for equal condition of anything on the list above. I guess that makes me not a Mavericker.

    Well, true Mavericker or not, all of my Mav's mine would be gone without a second thought for a '65-'70 Fastback 'stang. :yup:

    i had a 68 cougar and ive had the chance to trade the grabber for a 69 mach1 351 in excellent shape and also a 69 mercury cyclone gt in great shape. just the three that i can think of that actually made me contemplate. the grabber won out.:huh::coco: if i had the funds i would have all three of the others, but the grabber would still be here in my garage(y)
