    I have been searching the whole internet for the last few months for a "Factory Stock" picture / photograph of a Maverick Grabber (1971 I think). It had a 302 V8 on an engine stand in the foreground and I think there was a Girl model standing next to it or something.

    I am looking for a copy to print and hang in my garage. Does anyone have a copy they could post here or e-mail me???

    Thanks in advance!

    About the best one could hope for was chrome valve covers and maybe chrome open element air cleaner... That would be the performance offering, and not on a std 2bbl engine...

    No blocks were ever that yellow-beige(OK gold), plus whoever mocked it up has the distributor clocked wrong, no vac hoses on it either...

    You could buy most of those chrome parts across the counter, but I can't ever remember seeing a full chromed air cleaner...

    BTW I just realized that's a cutaway engine, take a good look at the LH valve cover and exhaust manifold...
