    That's a 74 front bumper, and it has 4-lug wheels, so the last thing it's gonna be is a 73. I'd say it is a 70 with an identity crisis. The first digit in the VIN will tell you for certain.

    If i were you. I would get those 4 lug rims too. They look like they are the rare wider size. 4 lug guys would love to have them if they are the ones that take the wider beauty rings. I would love to have them on my 1970 maverick if i wasnt getting ready to do the 5 lug swap in the near future. Around here at pick a part they are 15 a piece with out the tires on them & you have to take the tires off. I would hate to see them go to scrap. I hope someone gets them if you don't.

    I went and looked at that one, it was on Craigslist for months. Pretty solid Grabber and fairly reasonably priced. Must've been bought by someone up North. :huh:

    If the pits are not too deep then it could be a good core. I seen the bumper shop work miracles.

    Went to Sacramento raceway this weekend and after I paid to get in and was driving back to the pit area, the first car I saw was a yellow '72 Grabber. It had a 302 and the driver was running mid 11's.

    Those are not Mavericks/Comets "Seen in the wild" today. Those are all caught in captivity. :D

    As soon as I saw the Grabber I was like, man I should have brought mine. I actually went to watch a friend race his Camaro. His best time was 10.88 with a new 496 stroker.
