Ford did make the Grabber, 302 powered Maverick! 440'

This car is a GRABBER trim package (on the title)

Sorry, it is a temporary thing...but it is a cool little car....Runs consistent mid 11's @112mph




What happen to your 64 Plymouth?

my boss 302 .03 over made 503 hp at 8500 rpm on the street , it was a fun car , but just couldn't keep it together , lol .

One of my racing buddies runs a 347 powered Maverick. Pretty cool and quick car....

There was a couple 302 powered Maverick's back in H.S. my buddy had one of them. They were pretty quick cars. IMO I think the 302 is one of the best SB.

That's sweet! I'd love to see more pictures.

I had a '73 Mercury Comet GT with a 302 and a four speed as a daily driver not long after buying my Cuda. It was a fun ride, gold with wide black stripes similar to the Grabber, but needed brake drums something fierce; at $166 apiece, and room for only one car on the U-Haul trailer I rented, it ended up getting sold before I moved from California. You can see a little bit of its roof in this old pic. I wonder where it is now?

[theman440]

Hey, at least it has Mopar breathers on it!

 

[Mike Gaines]

LOL is my only comment....

I'd take a Maverick with a 347. Or a Pinto for that matter. Looks like fun.

 

[383man]

I like it Mike. Cool little hot rod that looks like fun. Ron

 

[theman440]

I like it Mike, Mavericks are one of my favorite Fords. We need to see more old Fords at the track!

 

[cjd1963]

I think it's cool!
