    just alittle about me.i have always loved fords.my first car was a 1979 indy mustang.after acouple of years i seen to many of them at the local car cruse so i bought a 72 grabber.it was in pretty good shape body and paint wise and i use to wax it twice a week!!!!{i was only 17}.that winter i rebuilt the motor.i started racing it at thompson.buy the end of the summer i had it doing 12.90s.the track wouldnt let me run it any more because i didnt have a cage.the car was to nice to put one in it so i sold it.{that was in 1993}.i was looking for a car for my younger son{13}when i saw a silver 72 grabber on ebay.i asked him if he liked it and he said HELL YEAH!!!!!so 950miles later we now have a father-son project.
