"Car Lust--Ford Maverick Grabber9:36 AM PDT, October 22, 2007 The Ford Maverick, a heavier and less sporting machine than the Ford Pinto on which it was based (a difficult concept to wrap one's head around), was a weak and flaccid family sedan, featuring the all-too- familiar 1970s bugaboos of a strangled engine, flexible and weak chassis, and garish styling."
Especially hard to wrap your head around since it was based on the Falcon..
Heh... considering I had 'retired' {young married} from street mod machines for 5 years when the Mav Grabber was popular, { and considering THE OTHER CHOICES in the Ford lines!!!}, I find anyone denigrating either the MAV/Falcon or Pinto platform a little foolish!
Ford couldnt really help how they had to build those machines... but the owner could do a lot to fix 'em.
Chris H prolly thinks the Mustang II is a lost cause.. heh! I'd give my left nut for one. Break out the cutters and radius those well-wells, then crawl under and rebuild the chassis .. drop in some tasty late model EFI.. Yum - YUM!
But I'd settle for a Grabber II...
