It’s a one-owner car and is supposedly rust-free, according to the seller. I mean, cars are horizontal, aren’t they? Turn yer dang camera 90 degrees, gaaaaaa! In any case, this Maverick hits a lot of sweet spots for a lot of buyers. Seeing vertical photos in a car ad is always disappointing unless a person is looking for a rocket or pogo stick. Here is the original listing, and thanks to Mark_K for sending in this tip! The seller has this clean example posted here on craigslist in Parker, Colorado and they’re asking $14,750. But once you do some renovation (a process already partially completed), you’ll have an authentic and mostly original treasure to add your own miles to.If this 1973 Ford Maverick Grabber would have been a barn find, it would have almost every description or tagline that most people seem to look for in a vintage car. He is clear that it’s not a car you can count on driving home if that’s not close by, or using as a daily driver before further mechanical reconditioning of systems like the brakes. No back fees are due, according to the seller, and the car runs and drives, but it has not gone past about ten miles under current ownership, mostly as the seller has gotten it ready for moving on to its new home. The car was put into backyard storage in 1986 and has not been registered since 1988. The Grabber is same-family-owned since 1974, when it was purchased in Georgia and driven to California for use on a daily commute. There is also a very cool mini-console on the transmission bump ahead of the front bench seat. It is nicely equipped with a 302-CID V8 with 67,000 miles on the odo and an automatic transmission. This is, after all, a California car for most of its life, although one that has sat outside, apparently carefully covered, for years. You’d have to look under the hood and underneath to pick out any further damage. It appears, according to the seller, to have had paint on the front fenders and hood, which obviously suggests collision damage. The Maverick features Medium Bright Yellow paint, most of which is original. For this car, the package and options are plainly named in the included Marti report, so authenticity is beyond question. In 19, the special “dual dome” hood was also a part of the Grabber. It allowed for larger tires, and added trim and graphics, plus a spoiler. ![]() A Grabber was a car equipped with the code 93 option, and the number appears in the VIN as verification. The car in question came from the third model year, and is well-equipped with air conditioning (which needs renewing) and the Grabber package. The idea was to have an import-fighter which could also serve as competition to GM’s Nova and Dodge’s Dart. It started out as a two-door Coupe and later was offered in four-door form as well. The original Maverick was a 1970s compact car, offered from 1970-77. The Maverick in 2022 exists as a four-door compact pickup truck, and a handsome one, at that. You’ll be expected to show up in Artesia, CA to claim your new ride. Now here is a rather more perfect version of Ford’s 1970s car, a 1972 Grabber model, available on eBay for a current bid of $10,200 and four days left in the auction, which is happening with no reserve. You Barn Finders seemed to agree that this was steep given the build it needed. I wrote up a Maverick last week that was going for, if I recall, around $6K. ![]()
