The seller recently bought it from the original owner’s son. It’s a southern California car and has been since it was new. This car looks absolutely amazing but the seller does say that it had one repaint in its original color, an “older repaint” at some point years ago and I can’t imagine it looking any better than it does.

As I was going through the photos, I was almost laughing out loud and not in a bad way but in a good, exciting sort of way, or maybe a crazy way as I’m sitting here by myself. The seller also has it listed here as a Barn Finds Classified. The more I look at this 1971 Ford Maverick Grabber the more I’m in disbelief that there’s no reserve on the eBay auction seen here.
