    Hello,been following this forum for quite a while but haven't said much,been on another forum alot with different "toy",but will be on here more now,talked to Razorsharp a couple times and sold a few parts to him.I have a chassis and rear end shop,am in the process of reproducing my original 71 black/silver stripe Grabber had when almost new.Found a super nice 70 non-grabber Virginia car a few years ago and just got started on a few months back,so far it's got full cage,ladder bar coilover 9" rear,Detroit 3.70 nodular,10" rears on 8" wheels,modified inner w/houses,Mustang II front,will be 357 cu in .30 over Windsor,Roush heads,Stealth intake,approx.400+ hp.Toploader 4 sp.will get some pics on here when I figure out how to do it!I traded my org.Grabber in at a Ford dealer in New Castle PA.in 1975,car was bought by someone in Sharon PA.then disappeared, at that time it was all black no stripes,Cragars,302,289 heads Holley Accell,4sp.T&C,J-bolt traction bars,bench seat with factory console turned around and gauges in it.Had 302 emblems on hood "bumps"and sunset mural on decklid,if anyone knows anything about where it is or where it went it would be neat to know.Thanks Jack

    welcome abord, hopefully you'll become a regular.

    good luck on the search for your grabber, i wouldnt set my hopes too high tho. that was a long time ago. wouldnt happen to still have the VIN would you?

    Thanks,The Ford dealer is a good friend and he's told me the paperwork is upstairs in the parts room if I want to look for vin#.I thought I would just throw that info out there and see if anyone responded.I've got everything to make my 70 into what I want anyway.I've had spoiler and 1/4 ext.s for about 15years waiting on finding a good body!

    i was just saying that because i know there are diffrent regestries out there for grabbers, stallions, comet GT ect and there is a slim possibility your old car may have made it in.

    Another example of just how valuable the spoiler and 1/4 extensions really are. :D

    Good luck with the build. Sounds like you're going to have a fun machine for the track.
