    Fan was a little under 300 and the rad is a northern radiator 209670, which I got for almost nothing but retails around 180

    I wonder if that will fit on my radiator ? Mine is aluminum but has the tanks on top and bottom.. Can you put those brackets on the side ? instead of the way yours mount...

    Not a 1973. It is either a 1974 or a 1975.

    Went to the hardware store and when I cranked the engine to leave the starter keeps on spinning. I thought it might be the old ignition switch that I swapped out last year because last month I had a problem that when turning the key off the engine would keep running. I had a friend bring me a ignition switch from his Stallion column that we remove a few day earlier. While waiting on him to come to my rescue I unplugged the switch harness. After plugging in the ignition switch and letting the switch dangle under the dash the problem didn't go away. My friend tapped the starter solenoid with a screwdriver handle and it fixed the problem. I started to pull out of the parking lot to head back home and it didn't take me long to figure out that I needed to turn the key to get the steering wheel to turn. The Napa's best solenoid is less than 3 years old and done gone bad.

    Unloaded all the boxes off the car and swept out around it. Went to put the battery in it and forgot I haven't put the battery tray in yet.

    The rear upper quarter extensions give it away.

    Well I am in a crappy position lol...

    I have run across a 71 2DR Grabber (VIN# 1K93L162598) that is up for sale down the street from my house for a low low price of $750. This car is a 250CI straight six, with a C4. Floor shift, Bucket seats, power steering, Grabber spoiler, RUNNING AND DRIVES!!! This car is only for sale to me.

    I have about $350 to play with, and no more. If someone wants to go half with me, I wuold love to split the profits that I can get out of the car. I would either sell the car as a runner and complete. Or sadly, part the thing out.

    Rear quarter lower sections have rot, floors are solid, torque boxes are great, only rust on the car is the lower rear quarters.

    Small bumper car, great glass, 30 years of paper work of maintenance.

    Went and started the car today... Here are some pictures :)
