That car hooks up so nicely and runs down the track so smoothly. A real testament to the owner's setup. Incredible.

I own a maverick grabber 1972 grabber yellow. I've owned it for 34 years.i think the maverick grabber is a beautiful looking car . thanks for showing a maverick grabber

Love the Mavericks, fun little cars. My buddy had one, we junked the 6 cyl and slid in a H.O. 302 w/5-speed from an old 90's fox body. Intake, trick flows, dumped exhaust ect... One day we were leaving the gas station, I was in the back another guy was with us and he had brought some beers. My buddy asked him to wait till we got home to open one. Other guy said no, craked open the beer and began chugging. My buddy slams the car in to 1st and dumps the clutch, throwing me back in to the seat and sliding sidways out in to the street. At the same time the other guy procedes to dump his entire beer all down his face and shirt! With an appropiate screaming WTF!? We were laughing so hard we almost cashed in to a telephone pole. Ah the good old days 😂😂😂

Another cool Maverick, love that it's running a strong pushrod SBF. Gotta respect what little 302 Windsors can do. Wheels up and running records with factory iron heads and 600 carb! Keep up the cool Ford vids Evan

Bad ass car so cool he’s had it since 1979 when he was 14.

I own a yellow maverick grabber and grabber yellow. I owned this car 36 years. I love it !

I had a yellow 72 Comet GT with a 302, made changing plugs a real chore with those stock shock towers. First car I ever owned to see daylight under the from tires!!

My buddy's old man bought a brand new Grabber. 302 4 speed, blue/flat black. Right out of the showroom he changed the cam, intake and added headers. Mr. M drove it respectably but when his son drove it he beat the crap out of it. I remember it like it was yesterday. Good times. 👍

Great car love that body style! Sounds great with that high winding 302!!

Love those Mavericks. Like the old “Less is More”👏👏👏👏

My buddy Rick Dahmer had one , & he had a roller cammed , twin nitrous setup 302 small block and he ran 10.5’s on our local tracks here back in the mid to late 1980’s . That car was Fast , & surprised a ton of guys who lined up against him thinking they would put him on a trailer . Rick could bang gears like nobody I have ever ridden with either , very quick & smooth. Aaaaah , the good ole days ..😎👍

I worked with Duane before i retired. Great guy. Awesome racer.

I had a Maverick with a 302, backed by a C4, back in 1985. I started working it up to run at the track. All my money from driving a tractor trailer went into my cars. In my youth I lived and loved two things Fast cars and diesel smoke.

My buddy put a 351 Cleveland in a Maverick, no motor mounts, just sitting on the headers, just a burnout machine, fun as hell

another marvelous Maverick!!! theyre such good looking cars, and man, what great racecars they make. this one is right up my alley SBF, auto with a brake, and a 9" it dont get no better. this car leaves just like our street car Maverick did , wheels up and the 1-2 shift in the air👍 love it!!!!

Awesome coverage on this fantastic wheel standing 1971 Grabber Maverick Ford Super Stock drag car. Evans, as always. Hands Down the best Ford coverage on U-Tube.

Nothing sounds like a solid roller. Massive hit.

I miss my 73 Orange and Ginger Maverick, thank you Evan.

Sweet ride. Super clean, blazing fast!

🏁Great vid Evan, really enjoyed!!!!!!🏁🤜🤛

The Ford Maverick holds lots of memories for me. It has been my favorite car for years now. The fox body Mustang runs second 😉 Hey I started out a Chevy guy for the first couple of years but the first time I drove my coworkers 1988 LX in 1992 I instantly became a Ford fan.

I never thought much of the looks of this car back in the day, but looking at it again now I think it is standing the test of time very well.

Cool, I like all the shared specs. Not that I'll ever have a car of this caliber, it's just nice to hear.

Another cool car and cool driver. Love the wheelies !!! Looks like a ton of fun.

Oh I’m in love with this one!!! 🇺🇸💪🏼 awesome video!

Love the Mavericks, one guy I knew called them Ford's Chevy II. Another guy I knew back in the day had a Maverick Grabber, blue with back stripes, it was a terror on the street!

Congrats Duane Hoven on your Record! Way Cool!!

two guys that know their stuff.............and what a great Maverick !

It’s an inspiration watching these videos, what a great guy to talk about his car. I want to be like this, I’m building a 70 Mach 1 here in Western Australia.

So freaking rad! Love it!

Wow, that's awesome running that much timing on iron heads!

Thanks Evan for all the Maverick Goodness! Makes my day. My first and favorite car 😊

Love those Mavericks---Thanks

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

As always, Fantastic job. Hang in there.

I love your car, well put together, very clean.

Thanks Evan. Love these simple class builds.

Love the simple classics.

Awesome Car, the owner kept it so simple to run and also to fix. Also I like how he kept the interior so it doesn’t look like a stripped out bracket racer on Friday night at ATCO. Great Video, my old co worker runs a Maverick his brother is legendary machinist John Ficthner here in Florida. Thanks Evan really Cool 😎

Watching all these maverick videos motivates me to do something with mine!😊

Awesome SBF! Love the in-depth details and the NHRA class specifics.

I lost my 72 grabber in my devoted 8 years ago it's just like that same paint. To . Brings tears to me . Keep them coming revn evan

I'm a Chevy guy but I do love the Maverick! Especially when they have small blocks.

Enjoyed the interview. Thanks for being so open about the car specs. My Dad bought two Mavericks. A ‘70 and a ‘71. The Grabber had a 302 and 3 speed stick on the floor. A 4 speed was not available😝! This Maverick was a pig on power thou. 😞

Reminds me of my small block '64 Comet ! 289 w 600 lift flat tappet and an autolite Ford carb !! Was only twisting 7,000 ! Ran 7.92 @ 93 mph in an eighth mile !! A blast so many years ago. !! Thanks

Such a neat car, love the sound and the stance

Keep the Maverick stuff coming love watching

These stockish manual builds are awesome I know there's money in it it's the power massage that makes me think it's so awesome. And that little 1850 Holley 600 is putting in some work!

That torque is multiplied - big time!

Nicely done. Appreciate the insight regarding the car. Photography is terrific.

Don Scinto did the heads on my 66GT Stang in 1980 or so , ! wonder if they are related, also had the gold valve covers bought new in 91. great video and tech details.

awesome maverick!

I just loved the steering wheel in this car normally would hate but in this case its super cool

Thanks for sharing so many details.

Thanks for the video. Couple of really interesting guys

Car is wicked cool. Love those Mavericks!

Great show THANKS

Can't wait to get my maverick back on the road. That cam sounds so nice.

The most underrated car of the muscle car era…. But I blame ford for that. They never offered a 4 speed or 4 barrel option….. ironically they did in Mexico and Brazil. That’s why these cars are as popular as mustangs down there.

That's huge performance from those tiny port heads !!

Excellent job! My first car was a maverick wish I had it now

Awesome car Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them boties and the horns off them mopars l love it

Totally cool vid, reminds us of the days at Lions drag strip Los Angeles, where my buddy's six cylinder 4-speed Camaro raced a six cylinder automatic Maverick, Camaro would always beat the Maverick off the line but the Maverik would win the race on the top end.... My Chevy buddy would say, that is a fast Ford...

Love the Mav’s!!!

Love love love that intake

I had a 71 V 8 Grabber back in high school in 73-75. Mine weighed in at 2684 as a 3 speed stick car. a whooping 210 Hp. But I loved that car then.

It blows my mind that a set of factory untouched small block Ford heads can run in the tens . A 126 cc intake runner is PUNY. For comparison a factory small block Chevy head is 160-170 cc. Insane stuff!!

Love the Maverick !!!

Great video Evan I love though's Mavericks' !

I caught this at Maple grove and i got some great pics of it wheelstanding.

Been racing for a long time myself that car is awesome

Always good to see some drag racing ..

Great car,thanks Evin

That’s impressive!! Thanks!!

❤😂😮😊 Evan, Mr. Raven that is one hell of a sweet maverick I like that I wish I had that keep up the good work and one in these years come to California for a Redding Dragstrip I see a lot of Mavericks in my things over there to peace take care. Have a good weekend for a good week.

Not a maverick fan, but the setup and build are really good, this car is really sorted, this guy did a lot of work on that car, nice job,

Love the small block builds, could you ever do a series on getting started in Stock Elim or Super Stock with a late model car like a foxbody with a SBF Windsor?

467hp for a 312 running iron heads and 11.5:1 compression sounds pretty impressive to me. Sounds like a lot of fun as well. Congrats on the record.

That looks like a fun Car to Drive 👍

I remember when relatively common but not extreme, streetable mods to a small block in a 70s smog mobile like a Maverick would put cars like that into the 13-14 second range. When the car owner got serious, these cars only got faster.

Awesome Evan!

Great content

Great video and car . Wow pretty speedy 👍

A Maverick has great weight transfer; even with stock suspension.

That's a sweet 302 bro💯💯💯💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Awesome!! Thanks

J code 302 4V heads. The 49 cc exhaust port size on those was less than the early 289s. Ford reduced the port size at the gasket face 🥝✔️

Nice looks like a blast

A great maverick

Fun to see a 70's car .

Amazing!!!!

FORD POWER loved these Grabber's and Comet GT's

Nice Maverick !!

Love Mavericks

That car is so cool - even the automatic has an automatic! 👍

The D/smod of Mike Edward's we built back in the 70s was a 10,000 RPM boss 302 that ran mid 10s, with filling the intake port floors over a half inch the ports were still so big the engine had to see 9800-10000 rpm to make good power....

Cool car.ford to the top..great video REVan.

Best class ever!

Cool car!

I love to see that car with a Cleveland in it
