Although, that sure seems cheap for such a nice-looking car. Hagerty is at $5,700 for a #3 good condition car which given the interior changes and the condition, that’s where I would put it at. I hate to focus on pricing but this certainly isn’t even close to being a #1 Concours condition car. They say that the only thing missing is the air-conditioning but I’m not quite sure what that means as it’s clearly visible in the photos and video. 1972 Maverick Grabber - Color: Orange Also, 1976 Ford Maverick 4. Having the bell on the outside rear would definitely make the seats tip inward. I have my buckets out of the 72 right now, but Im pretty sure the bell is for the front of the inside track. The seller provides a video of it running here on YouTube. 70 Maverick Grabber, 72 Maverick Grabber Restomod. They don’t provide a VIN which is very unusual for an eBay auction but the engine should be Ford’s 200 cubic-inch inline-six with 120 horsepower. The steering wheel isn’t original and given just the interior changes alone, I’m not quite sure how they came up with the asking price. The interior looks great but they say that the original bench seat in front has been replaced with bucket seats and the rear seats have had some repairs. The rear window and windshield have been replaced. They do mention some surface rust on the bumpers If I were a betting man, I would have said that it has been repainted at some point, it looks far too nice to be original from 51 years ago, but there’s no mention of bodywork or paint.
