    I think it was a promotional gimic to sell more cars. To atract those who wanted something a little more sporty. Special colors and graphics and it is still working today. :dance: :drive:

    Grabber was 70 only for the Mustang.
    Appearance package there too.

    The 'Grabber' colors used different names in different years/models.
    Same colors, different names...

    Appearance package, sales gimmick.
    The hood and spoiler were the best things to come out of the program IMO.
