    I was contacted by someone from the Cleveland message board about the car he used to have. He is from Arizona. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    My car was 1971 Grabber with a four speed (original 3 speed on the floor) with bucket seats (black interior). I ordered it and bought it new in 1971. The last time I saw the 1971, it still had the small block (302) and no cut shock towers. The car had the sub frames tied together by the owner after me and then was wrecked at Tucson Dragway in 1984. The car was rebuilt and the last time I heard was turned into a show car of some type. It has been so many years that I can't remember the name of the family that bought the car, but they did buy it to race it and had looked me up after they bought the car from the dealer that I had sold it to.


    Just thought I would pass it along.
