    I know you guys have been seeing me post on here for about the last 6 months looking for a 74 Grabber. I finally said that I would also consider a 73. I bought a 73 & it's being delivered on a car hauler. It should be here in about 15 minute. I can hardly wait. As soon as I can I will post some pics. Hopefully later this evening.
    :clap: Mike

    I ADDED PICS A FEW POSTS DOWN.

    Here are the pics

    The car is a 1973 Maverick Grabber. It is 302 V-8 with C-4 Auto with floor shift & Bucket Seats. Pretty good shape for a 73 that hasn't been repainted or upholstered. There will be upcoming projects for this car. Luckily this car was undercoated so there is no rust. Runs good & drives good. Thanks for everyones help. Hope you enjoy the pics.

    Dang! That thing is gorgeous.

    Can you do me a favor by getting the paint code from the sticker on the driver-side door jamb?...
