    Cars not a 1972.. just from what I see in the pics and knowing the guy says "it needs work". I'd say no..better deal at $700. When somebody says in their ad it needs work, I've found that to mean it REALLY REALLY needs work haha

    Check the vin to verify if it is actually a Grabber or not. The third and fourth digits should be 93 if it is a Grabber and 91 if not.

    Not a 72 rear bumper either. You really have to go take a good look at that to see what you have

    Grabber hood, worth a few $$$ itself.:)
    Colville is a ways North of Spokane. Only about 30 miles to the Canadian border.
    I worked there for a while.

    It's worth $1300 in my opinion if alls well, although I would check every inch of the body and if theres any bad signs of rust I'd walk away or let the owner know how much work the car needs and talk them down some more.

    It looks to me like a 74 or newer with a 72 grabber hood. Like suggested, check carefully and check vin. number. The first 2 numbers will be the year. :huh::tiphat:
