Vehicle Description
This 1971 Ford Maverick Grabber tribute has the slick paint to grab
your attention. But the growling 525+ hp V8 and five-speed upgrade
will really have you hooked on this all-around cool classic.
True to the Grabber name, this is done in Grabber Orange. The
upgraded color is a bold and glossy way to showcase a terrific
custom look that borrows the best from Ford. For example, the
painted black and orange side stripping package is classic Grabber
Maverick cool. But the coordinating black hood scoop reminds us of
Cobra Jet Mustang. This all looks great because Maverick's style is
coming into its own on the classic car scene. This has a real sense
of style with the long hood, fastback roof, and a hint of
Coke-bottle curve in the profile. Plus, it has great details - from
the mirror-like bumper to the way the panels fit with quality.
The black accents on the outside are a nice preview of the full
black interior. They invested in the fundamentals inside with a
smooth dash, newer door panels, good carpeting, a taut headliner,
and seats with comfy cloth inserts. There's even an upgraded
AM/FM/CD stereo. But what you notice about the interior are all the
driver-focused components. It includes high-back front bucket
seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a column-mounted tach, and
well-placed auxiliary readouts. And have you counted the gears on
the Hurst shifter yet?
The engine bay has an ultra-clean style ideal for showing off a
serious powerhouse. This is a 351 cubic-inch V8 that we're told is
bored .30 for 358ci total. There are also Edelbrock aluminum heads,
roller rockers, a Ford Racing flywheel, an MSD ignition system, an
Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake, and topped with a Holley four-barrel
carburetor. We even have a dyno sheet from 2017 showing 529
horsepower! And the header-fed dual exhaust does a nice job
announcing all this power. The upgrade to a Tremec TKO five-speed
manual transmission means better gear ratios to control this big
power, and it feeds into a 4.22 limited-slip rear for poised and
quick take-offs. Subframe connectors, rear traction bars, and wide
BF Goodrich T/As are all about adding driving confidence to this
powerful package.
Nicely presented and wickedly powerful - this is the distinct V8
coupe you've been waiting for. So don't let it slip away.
