    Chandler, did you repaint your purple car or is this another one? Either way, it looks great but I sure did like that purple.

    Those wheels almost look like the ones you could get on Mercury Grand Marquis' in the mid to late 80's.

    Yeah, those are the same rims.

    I know I would hate to part it out, space is kinda limited here. Once I get it here I will look the car over. The reason why I was thinking on parting it out is because, it really doesn't have any interior. I figured it would take to long to get all of the interior parts.

    But I know it's a rare car.

    I'm debating now, what should I do guys. :confused:

    My 77' Mustang is my daily driver already. I'm leaning towards cloneing the white one a 74' Grabber. :)

    Anymore suggestions?

    Hey guys, talked it over with my Dad and I decided to keep the orange Grabber off to the side for a future project. :yup:

    Hopefully I won't have trouble comeing across parts for it, I think it will be kind of ruff finding door panels, seats, dash parts, etc. :huh:

    I would keep the Grabber together, seats or not.:2cents: If it is a 75, remember it was the last year they were made. You must have not looked at the door tag for the year. When you do, wright down all info and decode it. As a grabber it should have a one piece blacked out grill. but in the pic it has a so called two piece grill with silver on it. The grill must have been replaced because the other got broke or else someone liked it better. :2cents:
