    This must have been the one at the Modesto Pull-a-Part??

    It looks like someone bought it for the Grabber hood and junked the rest? The rear spoiler looks beat, but the extensions look worth saving. How's the interior?

    Front bumper, rear bumper, sport mirrors, rear valance possibly? all worth saving. See lots of requests for those parts

    I grabbed the Grabber grill with lights and my friend got the remaining sport mirror and gauge cluster. The hood of course was already gone.

    Yes Modesto JY

    Interior is shot. Really bad. The rear spoiler has only one good piece. The passenger side cap. The other is damaged by someone trying to pry it off or something.

    I left the change tray sitting on the car. It was an A/C car and had an 8" rear so probably a V8

    I would grab what is left of the Grabber spoiler and both quarter extensions - don't forget to take the mounting hardware too - you never now when you might need a piece of spoiler for a repair and you should be able to get it pretty cheap I would think :)

    How about the bucket seat floor pan supports? Those are tough to get.

    A few minutes with a chisel can get them out. Sometimes, it is easier to chisel through the floor around it and deal with the spot welds later on.

    And that Grabber harness...

    well to 90% of america its just another old car that no one cares about

    I wouldve loved to have saved it but since its there we gotta take advantage and scavenge as many parts as possible so it doesnt die a useless death
