    When I had it built 4 years ago I had it drawn up to be 40 x 40. My wife came home and said she didn't think it was big enough. (This is what you are looking for guys) It is 40 x 50.:bananaman

    I love that interior and it is the same interior that is in the Maverick that is in the movie A touch of Satan.. In fact it is almost the identical car.. Maybe your new found toy was a Movie Start in a previous life??

    Quick story about a 71 Grabber that used to reside near my Grandmother's house.... It was the same color option on the exterior as the one you have in that picture. Red with Black and yellow stripes and the Vinyl roof. I always eyed the car because it was similar to my Dad's 72 wich had the black on black stripes and no vinyl roof.... Well that 71 went up for sale and I kept promising myself that I was going to stop and ask about it and buy that car if I could afford it. Well low and behold I drive by one day and there is a tarp over the car and it looked kinda twisted, so I stopped and inquired.. It seems that one of the parties interested in buy the car stopped in to test drive it and rolled it into a ditch and totalled it. Smashed the roof in and mangled the car pretty much beyond feasible repair. I was never quite so sick about procrastinating as I was when the guy lifted the tarp and I seen that beautiful little red and Black Maverick all twisted up.. Still kick myself when ever I drive past that house on the way to visit my Grandmother. Only other time I was quite as upset about missing out on a car was the time I could have purchased a big block Cobra Jet Stang 1969 or 70 (can't remember which) and I was just a little short on funds and I found out from my aunt "AFTER" the car sold that she would have given/loaned me the rest of the money had I only asked.
