"Car Lust--Ford Maverick Grabber
9:36 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...
