Charlie I asked about the glove box because this car sounds like it might be a preproduction car and they may have tried it, this would make it very rare. and like you said what about the inside door hadles that is another thing they may have tried on this car. Both of those things are mid 73 product pieces and to find them on a car made a year earlier would be very cool!
: Todd pretty much covered it except the glovebox was a mid-year '73 addition and would not be on your car. Many changes occured in 1973. Does your car have grab-handle-type armrests? Does it have the Grabber hood? (73 grabbers did not).

: : It sounds like you have a very early 73 Grabber? 2 is for '72, X I don't know, 93 is Grabber, F is 302, the rest are sequential numbering. 62D is 2 door sedan, I don't know the color or trim codes, but like I said you might have one of the FIRST 73 Grabbers out there. If it was made in June it did not hit the show rooms until August and would be a '72 car but they were pobably selling it as a '73 and it was probably sold in Califonia where the larger bumpers were required first. Does it have the Grabber hood with the scoops? or is it flat with black thin strip in a U shape on it that has the word Grabber on the front edge of it? What other extra's does it have like AC, Bucket seats, Mag wheels, vinyl roof side crome molding, does it have a glove box or a pakage tray, floor shift or colom, auto or stick? All these things will help us figure out what you have. Todd.
