    I went to my local cruise-in at Mineral Beach, Library, PA. They have it every Friday evening. I pulled in & saw a 72 Grabber. I parked next to it & waited for the owner to return. It is the rare color scheme (white with gold trim). The owner returned about an hour after I arrived. I chatted with him for about 15 minutes. I don't remember his name. But, the history of the car is very interesting. He is the original owner. He ordered the car overseas while in the Navy. When he returned from Vietnam he picked it up at his local Ford dealer. The car is all original including the paint & decals. The interior is flawless, it's black vinyl with bench seat. It is a factory 302 cu in, with 3 speed on the floor. Seems to be a rare combination. Can anyone confirm that? I told him all about the MCCI. Gave him my business card. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!!!

    That is pretty cool about the back story on the car. Hopefully he will keep in touch with you and and you guys can get together at other events.
