    Hi

    been into cars since I was a 15
    first car was a 70 Cougar Eliminator...
    I buy, restore and sell unique and hard to find cars and trucks..
    Currently live in Tucson Az...
    tonite I picked up a 74 Grabber , 302 auto car.
    I remember the days of driving around Tucson and youd see these
    cars just driving down the road all the time, now while driving around
    town, if I see one, I usually try to chase it down and see if they want
    to sell it.
    Was lucky enough to see this one for sale on CL today around lunchtime
    its a 74 2 owner rust free az car. Original V8, auto , ac , ps and was a
    vinyl top car originally. Still has most of its original white paint.
    Paid the guy and drove it home, even got in small race out of the hole
    with a guy in a newer Altima. Heres a pic of how it looked when I went to see it today to see if I wanted to buy it.
    Ill have more pics to come soon. Not exactly sure what my plans are going
    to be with it. But for now, youll prob see me here for a bit off and on.
    I currently have about 20 cars and need to be selling more then Im buying lol.

    heres another pic from today..
    Ill probably be changing the cragers to a set of alum
    dishmags this week and put the Cragers on my 72 Challenger.
    I also need to take the rear shackles off.
    Would love to keep it forever, but the reality is Ill prob end
    up selling it in order to keep some other cars.
    The stripes, whats left of the originals, look to be Gold.

    two more pics..
    the car is some primer where the last owner did it
    in his garage to cover where some of the original paint
    was chipping off over the years, but doesnt seem to have
    been in any fender benders at all.
