The seats look perfect both front and back and the underside looks rock solid. This one is a 3-speed and according to Hemmings, whether they were automatics or 3-speed manuals, it was optional to have a floor shifter. All I can say is the original owner was about as cool as it gets.
#Ford maverick grabber manual
GA! I know, most of us expected to see an automatic shifter on the hump, not a manual transmission. The son inherited it from his mother who bought it in 1972 and used it for short commutes to work and back.
The seller recently bought it from the original owner’s son. It’s a southern California car and has been since it was new. This car looks absolutely amazing but the seller does say that it had one repaint in its original color, an “older repaint” at some point years ago and I can’t imagine it looking any better than it does. After having grown from a trim-level in the 1970 Mavericks to their own model the following year, the Grabber lasted until 1975. Sorry for going overboard on this Grabber but please check out the photos and I think that most of you will agree that it basically has it all, or close to it. This really is the little-old-lady-from-Pasadena car – although in this case, she was from Torrence. It just seems too good to be true but it is true. This Grabber is located in Artesia, California, the current bid price is $10,488, and there is no reserve.
As I was going through the photos, I was almost laughing out loud and not in a bad way but in a good, exciting sort of way, or maybe a crazy way as I’m sitting here by myself. The seller also has it listed here as a Barn Finds Classified. The more I look at this 1971 Ford Maverick Grabber the more I’m in disbelief that there’s no reserve on the eBay auction seen here.
