    About three weeks ago I was flying across a indian reservation in Western Arizona. I spotted what looked like a Grabber from the air. I saved the location in the GPS and today I went to the reservation and found it. Classic situation, it's in the middle of about 15 cars, no motor, 4 different kinds of wheels, looks like it hasn't been driven in 10 years, and when I asked the guy if he wanted to sell it, he said "yeah I guess, we are not using it much!"

    Got it for 50.00. The body has the usual dents and dings, the car is a 74 Grabber, Orange and white. It does have bucket seats and a floor shifter (automatic). The interior is better than i thought, the plastic in the back may still be good. The transmission is still there, as well as the V-8 mounts and air conditioning stuff. It has hood pins on it, can't recall if these were stock or not. I am headed back down with some wheels and tires on Wednesday to get it.

    are you wanting to sell any of the things off this car??? If so I would like to have the v-8 mounts and anything else that may be needed for a v-8 conversion.

    Thanks William

    Well, some people sure are lucky. Way to go Steve, if only I could find deals like that. I guess I need to get a chopper.......:D Have fun pulling it out from the grasps of the 15 other cars! Let us know how it goes. Later.
