    here's the first car that ive brought home from my recent 4 car purchase. here's some specs:
    '70 2dr Grabber
    -200
    -auto
    -m/s
    -rare white side stripes
    -Grabber blue in color :D
    -recently re-done seats and door panels

    someone converted it to 5 lug with discs in the front already and installed new shocks all the way around. gas tank looks good. someone put a v8 in it and had it running but removed the engine and trans b4 the previous owner got it. im not going to part it out. im gonna put it together for a driver type deal or sell it to someone if interested :)

    Nice project.
    Note: that hubcap on the passenger front in your pic is the base dog dish for Mercury cars. They came on Comets, Cyclones etc.
