    The picture of the blue car above certainly looks like it's cut out to me with white lettering to match the outer pinstripe. I have not seen a factory Grabber that did not match:

    71 = Solid Stripe with SilkScreen
    72 = Cutout stripe with Grabber decal matching outer pinstripe

    I am not seeing that the blue one could have been done this way:

    if there is a gap, it isnt pronounced like this. And on the black with red silk screaned one... The font looks like the 72 font. :90:

    I think Dan is correct: The picture of the blue car above certainly looks like it's cut out to me with white lettering to match the outer pinstripe. I have not seen a factory Grabber that did not match:

    71 = Solid Stripe with SilkScreen
    72 = Cutout stripe with Grabber decal matching outer pinstripe


    I think the blue car is above does have the body color around the word GRABBER....it is just hard to see in that picture.

    You are correct in saying that you have the wrong font on your car. Yours looks more like the 1973-1975 font. Maybe not exact....but similar.

    ok... compare these fonts:


    1970, none


    1971...[​IMG]


    1972 ...[​IMG]


    1973 ...[​IMG]



    1974/5 [​IMG]



    Mine... [​IMG]
    None of the above. Its "Arial Black" from the fonts button above. Grabber
