    Just purchased a 71 Grabber with a 302. I own a 2010 grabber Blue Mustang as well. Was in the market for an old mustang I could work on and found this and fell in love. Maybe it was the color. Needs very little work, but it's driver and way to have fun. Going to do Painting under the hood. Steering is taking some to get used to. The previous owner put in a 12" steering wheel. Going to install 15" one.

    :Welcome: from central VA! Nice looking car!

    My uncle has a Grabber Blue '71 Grabber and I used to own a Grabber Blue '11 Mustang GT. It has always been one of my favorite colors.

    I think the guy earlier was asking what were the black things sticking up between the hood and front fenders near the front of the car.

    What size wheels and tires are on the car? They look really short in the picture.
