    Im going to los angeles CA after a grabber tomorrow and if anyone in the area would like to meet after I pick it up Ill be glad to spare the time. Im already stopping at two guys houses to check out there cars and hang for a little bit on the way back
    OR if anyone has found parts in the area and need a shipper coming back towards sacramento you can call me if its close to the freeway Ill pick it up for you
    plan to go I5 route so if youre along that route and have some time call me 916-289-8450 Duane it would be cool to have a bunch of meet and greets along the way back

    How did your search go? I have seen several in the LA area on craigslist that looked fairly decent.

    I had a line on a car when I went down there and I took a chance and boy did I come out good I got a 71 grabber that came with disk brakes 302 headers dual exhaust power steering power brakes a bunch of extra parts and the grabber hood and spoiler for $800 plus the JOURNEY there and back.
    we left at 6am sunday morning and got back monday morning at 230
    we got the car in compton and I had some parts to deliver in long beach and inglewood
    it was a GREAT deal and an adventure plus I got to meet a couple of maverick guys face to face :thumbs2:

    I also learned that I WONT be doing that trip again in one day :naughty: :coco:
