The rear seat is in great condition and probably hasn't seen much use and the finished trunk is reasonably well-sized and has a factory style mat to tidy it up. It's also equipped with a modern stereo, a Delphi AM/FM/CD/AUX unit that fits into the center of the dash, the factory A/C system has been upgraded and blows cold, and there's a chrome T-handle shifter that manages the automatic transmission below. An aftermarket 3-spoke steering wheel was added to sport things up a bit, and a set of auxiliary units were neatly stashed underneath the dash to augment the factory units. Two deep, round pods house the speedometer and fuel gauge, and if you've driven an early '70s Mustang, you'll feel right at home here, and an aftermarket tachometer was strapped to the column to keep an eye on the revs. The carpets are nice and plush, protected by rubber floor mats, and the headliner up above is taut and ties everything in together perfectly. The vinyl seating surfaces are in excellent condition (and the stuffing is all-new too), the matching dash looks so good it could very well be an OEM replacement, and the door panels at the flanks look fairly fresh too, with period-perfect designs that soften things up inside a bit. The interior is definitely comfort-oriented with a little sportiness mixed in, anchored by the black vinyl buckets up front. The neo-fastback roofline has aged well and the car makes the most of its curves with that high-impact paint job. Of course, chrome bumpers were still in fashion in 1976, but otherwise there aren't many shiny bits on this car, which has a forward-looking appearance that works rather well. Bodywork is quite straight when you look down the lines, and there isn't any evidence that this Maverick was abused in its day. All the orange paint look fairly recent and it was finished to a strong driver-quality level that looks great today, and the black accents were expertly applied – with painted-on LeMans-style hood stripes and slick profile decals breaking up any potential monotony giving the car a very racy vibe. We really dig the bright Grabber Orange and Black combination on this Maverick, which gives it a more performance-oriented look with a more modern twist. Of course, chrome bumpers were still in fashion in 1976, but otherwise there aren't many shiny bits on this car, which has a forward-looking. To be honest, we rarely see these anymore and for an entry-level hobby car, it represents a whole lot of fun for not a lot of cash. With that red-hot color-combination, a thumping 347 Stroker V8 under the hood, and a comfortable A/C bucket-seat interior, this Maverick makes Mustangs blush. VERY COOL GRABBER TRIBUTE! STRONG 347 STROKER V8, AUTO, A/C, SHARP INSIDE/OUT!Ī Ford Maverick, you say? The Mustang's low-key cousin actually looks anything but dull when dressed in killer Grabber livery, as this 1976 Ford Maverick Grabber Tribute so aptly presents.
