    72 Grabber
    Hello to all,
    New to the forum and wanted to say hi. My dad just scored a 72 Grabber with a fresh 351 & new interior out in California for 900 bucks. I went home to check this deal of a car out cause I thought he was pulling my leg, Or it was a bucket. Turns out he got a great deal. Asked for the keys to take it for a drive.... Two hours of please, come on, I'll be careful, I'll fill up the tank, I was on the road. :drive: Well It didn't take 2 minutes and the pedal was pegged. WOW!!!!
    After two hours of pure enjoyment I pulled back into the driveway with a 180 degree smile. He asked where the heck I was, and I replied.... Can't mix the old gas with the new, Oh by the way this car is mine we'll find you another.

    I am hooked.
    :dance: :dance:
