Many Grabbers didn't have the side scoop hoods. I have had 3 '71-'73 Grabbers over the years all being stock flat hoods with Grabber decals and all were original hoods. I always wanted a true side scoop Grabber hood but liked the Comet GT scoops better. My '73 was the most stripped down of the 3 but my Orange '71 had many options including the still working factory A/C at that time. Great little cars with an awesome streaming body line. I will own another one in the future.

Sorry, got off topic... to answer your question, not all Grabbers came with special hoods. I think about half of the true Grabbers came with Grabber decals on the stock Maverick hoods.
