    Differences vary between years.
    Changes can be
    Rear Spoiler
    Hood
    Grille
    Stripes
    Paint

    And can be floor shifter bucket seats and deluxe door panels. Not all grabbers have that though most do though.

    incorrect. you would get buckets and floor shift in any car, along with deluxe interior. it did not have to be a Grabber with these options and most "Grabber" cars are usually bench seat and automatic

    Yes very true.. But I said most grabbers have them but some dont... It is very rare to see a non grabber or non ldo have bucket seats.. If your gonna spend the extra money on the decals and hood and all you might as well spend the extra for the deluxe interior.
