No. What I'm saying is that it isn't worth the hate being associated with by you or Mr. GMC lover.

I'm a boomer too and most definitely not a Ford guy but like I said, the Grabber edition was a car I got very excited about.

Maybe not from the factory, but it was offered with a 302, which has the second largest aftermarket support after the SBC.
The 70-72 Mavericks are actually one of my favorite cars. Shades of a Datsun Z-car in styling and with a 302, the sky is the limit in terms of building HP.
I just can't judge cars by how they might work as big dollar project toys decades later. I have to view them by how they worked as daily drivers for people who depended on them for transportation and, hopefully, provide a little fun for an enthusiast. The fact is if you had to live with these cars in cold, snowy winters or humid, storm-filled summers and dump money into regular repairs because of the shitty build quality in the '70s, you probably wouldn't view them the same way.
Be careful with that nostalgia distortion lens.

literally just call it Mach-E
Keep the name Mustang away from it.

Classic cars are nice. Just don't be inside of them when they wreck.

If I ever hit the lottery or inherit a fortune from an unknown relative, I’m buying a 1970 Maverick and hacking out the shock towers to stuff a flat plane Voodoo Coyote with a 6-speed in it just to spite you.
