    Hello all! Got my hands on a 1972 Grabber last week,seems to be in pretty good shape. Missing some parts though. Maybe y'all can help me with some of the places to look,they're not just sitting around much anymore. Always wanted one of these cars,never could "grab" one till now. Its got a '91 t-bird block and heads,Original C-4 (more than likely to explode) :rofl:... Wrong color,but hey fresh paint so guess ill leave it alone,and of course that hood...

    Yeah,I was just cutting up:mischeif:. I've just wrenched a bunch through the years,killed a couple of every kind. The best ford trans Ive had was the one in the Mustang II that I traded for this maverick. Was a stock rebuild except it had the six planetary setup and I beat it constantly over the years I owned it,kinda miss it...

    Ok maybe these will work... Not really a red kinda guy,more of a blue,green,orange... but I'm not gonna paint it,maybe later when this wears off... The paint on the leading edges usually burns off with me driving anyway:yup:
