    Hello to all :tiphat:
    Just popped in to say hey and introduce myself. My name is Dan and I just picked up a 73 Grabber! So needless to say I'm stoked to find so many knowledgable folks who can provide insight. Thank you to all.
    I'm no stranger to old cars, but this one is interesting as I believe it to have wearing pretty much it's original paint (some touch ups on the white) ... or at possibly an older restoration. I think it likely original paint tho as it still has the dealer logo on the rear decklid (RD Miller's Auto in St Cloud, MN.) It's been residing in SO Cal for some time now.
    I'll post some more info about in in the near future as it's late at the moment. Thanks again to all, will try to include a pic of the car as is.

    Nice looking car! Could very well be original paint, my Green 73 came from Seal Beach, it was original paint when I got it.

    Thanks Joe!
    I'm absorbing a bunch of info about the Grabbers, so please forgive any seemingly dumb questions!
    Are they unusual? I know many were bench, but was it rare to see them with a certain bucket combo?
