    Sold my 1971 Grabber
    I measured mine after I raised it up and got 22 inches at the sharp part of the body just behind the front wheel.

    Didn't measure before, but a floor jack would not fit under the front sub frame, thats why I raised it up.

    My Comet has been on jack stands for what seems to have been 2 years.So it will take at least 1 or 2 good launches to get it too settle down.....

    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    Well, the curiosity got to me. I had to be like you guys and measure mine too (please don't jump off a bridge).

    Front = 20" 302 block / Al heads / Front Runners / shortened drag springs ( 1 coil removed)
    Rear = 22" empty 5 gal fuel cell / 11.5" X 28" E.T. Streets / no Nitrous Bottle

    I'm satisfied with it's stance - sitting still.
