It’s not a superbomb, it’s more of a jazzy firecracker (1970)
The sporty new Grabber is Maverick’s way of adding some icing to the economy cake …without making things too rich for any man’s diet. You wouldn’t dream of taking it out on the track. (Getting you to the track is more its speed.)
But you’ll love it for what it really is: A Ford Maverick at heart. A Simple Machine that goes a long way on a gallon of gas stretches a parking space… shrinks repair bills and maintenance costs. And wears a Maverick-y price tag. In fact, the new Grabber is everything Maverick is. Plus a little more fun. And all that jazz.
Here’s what you get: • 200-cubic-inch Six • Sack-painted hood and grille • Bodyside tape stripes • C78-14 white sidewalls • 14″ wheels and trim rings • Deck-lid spoiler • Dual racing mirrors • 3-speed fully-synchronized manual transmission • 3-spoke wood-grained steering wheel • Black all-vinyl interior trim • Choice of five hot Grabber colors • Options like a 250-cu.-in. Six, automatic transmission.
Plus these other Maverick dividends: • No high price. • No high “muscle car” insurance rates. • No hard-to-tune engine. Grabber adds to your fun, not your mechanical problems. • No hard, stiff ride. Grabber’s sprung for comfort, not for the track. • No high maintenance costs. Servicing’s fast and simple. With lots you can do yourself.
It’s a Maverick. For a little more … It’s a Grabber.
