Ford Maverick ‘Grabber’
The Ford Maverick was introduced on April 17, 1969 - 5 years to the date after the introduction of Ford’s wildly successful Mustang. The Maverick was promoted as an ‘import fighter’, a reaction to the increasing market share not only by companies such as Volkswagen but the ever-rising popularity of Toyota and Datsun.
Its initial price was $1995 for a very basically appointed, low content car. The “grabber” package was offered sometime later, comprising certain visual enhancements such as stripes, hood scoops, faired OSRV mirrors, black painted ends, auxiliary lighting plus some additional bright colors such as ‘Grabber Blue’, ‘Grabber Orange’, Grabber Green’ and the like.
The one above appears to be restored to an excellent condition.
