Iethiopian,
Nope, the Maverick and Comet never came with a four barrel carb - not in the USA and Canada at least. In Brazil and Austrailia it might be different but in North America the Mustang and Cougar got the four speed trannys, four barrel carbs all the Muscle parts.

edit: if you have the VIN we can decode it for you and tell you what the factory equipped it with.

Hey guys, I'm no Maverick Expert but have been around long enough to know that the Maverick Grabber did in Fact come with a 302 option in late 1970 or early 1971. The question was not whether it had a 4 barrel carb or a 4 speed transmission it was if in fact the car had a 302 V-8. The owner of the car said it had a C4 in it, there was never any mention of a 4 speed and as for the carb, it could very well have a 4 barrel on it, how hard is it to make that conversion with after market products? I have no idea what the car options were on those cars at that time but I do know that 1974 was the end of an era for porformance cars.

I just happened to wonder into this Maverick forum the other night by chance, or so sorry. You guys are Maverick guys are you not?
Running the VIN number will reveal just what the car rolled out of the factory with as you have stated. But if the owner of the car has stated that his Grabber has a 302 in it there is no reason to doubt that fact.
