    Mine was white with green stripes and green interior. Never heard of white and black. I wonder how many diffrent color combo's they made?

    Nice website, PWG.

    All I can say is Wow, that is amazing. The car looks like it's right off the showroom floor. I'm also glad your wife is on-board, that will make the whole experience a lot more fun!

    Congrads....

    Thanks for visiting my site, I made the english version thinking on the mav fans in US !!

    About Grabber colors, my research found:
    white + black stripes, white + orange, white + light green, orange + black and red + black stripes.

    Update!!!

    My wife & son are the best. This was a big adventure to jump on a plane & fly to Colorado, buy a Vintage car & travel 1000 miles across America to return home.:drive: They said they had a blast. They said it was unbelieveable how much attention they received every where they stopped as well as people honking & waving driving down the highways. I was up way too late last night looking things over & reading all the paper work that he sent with the car. Has receipts for everything he has replaced on car. One thing interesting is that he bought a factory 4V intake from a 66 Mustang & an Autolite carb from a 65 mustang. He had the intake hot tanked & the carb rebuilt. They both look like new. I just can't believe how good it runs, drives, handles etc.. Crawled around underneath & it's clean. No rust anywhere. There are so many things that sparkle like brand new on this car. The bottom side of the hood & trunk lid just sparkle. Finding out that the car has factory front Disc Brakes was a nice suprise. I didn't even notice the Disc emblem on the brake pedal in the interior pic untill now. This is the cream puff that I have been searching for for a long time. I couldn't be happier with it.:clap:
    Mike:)

    Because it's a '74. I believe only '71 and '72 Grabbers had the Grabber hood.
