I am the current keeper of the 1973 Maverick Grabber Registry. I have a personal interest in the '73 models and currently own a '73 Grabber myself. Once I found out that no-one else had started a registry of these cars, I felt I should do so. I encourage everyone to submit their car's vital statitics for this registry. You can do so by visiting the Registry Form.
I'm going to keep an online folder in my email as well as written documentation, along with this online registry. I will be taking opinions and ideas along the way so if you have an idea that might help the cause, please speak up.
