    Man, people need to learn how to accuratly list their items. I don't have a problem with key words listed later in the auction to get more hits, but to call something a Grabber when it is most definitly not (wasn't even a Grabber in 76) is very annoying. Unfortunatly the trend shows that Grabbers and Grabber items yield more profit, so people will falsly portrait items. I love the blacked out tail panel, and the spoiler. Man, this "Grabber" must be rarer than the Maverick Maurauder! :)

    I feel bad for that poor little Maverick. It has no idea what itself is. If the wing was a little bigger it could be called a Honda.........

    I sent him an email, I acted like a potential buyer.. asked this,,Are you sure this is a real Grabber?

    see what I get for a response, maybe and probably he just doesnt know.

    I saw that one yesterday and just laughed. I'm suprised that they didn't throw the word 'Rare' in the desciption just for good measure.

    Why say "rare"? A 1976 Grabber says it all. It is one of none, that is about as rare as you can get.

    Finally got a reply to my inquiry of that being a REAL grabber..



    You asked:
    "Are you sure this car is a Grabber? Thanks Dan"

    no, it may be a clone but it has a 302 and a c4 trans.

    Obviously he has no idea what he has, and dont we all know that most people think all grabbers came with 302's? I think the guy is honest,, just doesnt know.
