How nice of a GT/Grabber can $8-10K get me?

For $10,000, you can have THIS...

 

I agree with Eric other than I think 3 on the tree should have been reserved for trucks.

I think manuals will always go for more. Look around at Mustangs, Camaros, 4/5 spds. always bring more money. Even with the late model stuff this is true. It's performance oriented.

i would think 3 on the floor would be many times cheaper than 3 on the tree...thats just me REALLY? scott thats a hell of a deal

 

Not only is it a hell of a deal, it is a deal ONLY for YOU!!!

OR anyone else foolish enough to throw 10k at me...

I WOULD take it, I promise...

 

do i get your truck and house , hell throw in the dog to

 

NOT the dog...

 

The only reason...

...that I can think of is bench seats don't allow enough clearance for floor shift.
I think it was a left over from the '60s thing.

Lot's of great info.

I'd prefer to have a true GT or Grabber over a clone, and honestly I prefer the GT look over the grabber. I'm a huge early 70's "E" body Mopar fan, and the GT sort of has that look (at glance) more so than the Grabber, but really I like them both nearly the same. Most importantly though, I want something authentic. Something that is what it says. I'm not one to throw cobra badges on a mustang GT, or Eliminator stripes on an XR7. I like the real thing, and real Comet GT's, or Grabbers are a rare sight.

Does anyone know production numbers for the GT/Grabber (small bumper cars)?

I'd also prefer a manual on the floor. I consider these cars somewhat of a muscle car (thoughts on this?), and a stickshift is the only way to go IMO. Manual with a bench seat is always my odd favorite, but I'll take one either way.

And I agree, the big money, and big value the mustangs, and every other "muscle car" has seen, it's pushed the regular working man to look at other, more affordable variants like the GT/Grabber, Dusters, AMX's, Cougars, Torinos, etc (some quickly becoming high dollar as well). The lower level cars as far as popularity and demand. Still cool in their own right, but not in the spotlight. I'll admit, it's nice to see something like these at car shows after walking the rows of cookie cutter mustangs. I'll walk right past a whole row of fastback stangs to look at a Torino GT, or Comet or mav any day of the week.

I need to fill this void of selling one of the coolest and rare muscle cars on the planet for what is now far less than market value (in reference to the Boss Cat in my sig).

Interesting ... I thought I had seen notes in the sales brochures indicating floor shifters were only available with buckets seats ...

 

I have also seen several factory floor shift manual tranny bench seat cars....including a 4-door Maverick/Comet.
