    not sure of a actual number...but I would think less than 10% left. I've known a little over 20 out this way in the past 15 years and mine is the only one of them left...one by one either rust or abuse or accidents have claimed each one.

    Jamie ... I was in Dawsonville this weekend at the Outlet Mall Cruise-in with my Grabber. Some guy asked if I was from Suwanee ... I said nope ... Cumming. He said there is a Grabber the same color as mine that he has seen driving in Suwannee starting about 1 month ago .... have you seen it?

    No, I haven't seen it. I've had a few people telling me they have seen a white one running around here to. Haven't seen that yet either. I did see one in grey primer at a gas station Saturday. Looked to be a '74 or '75. The person working the cash register said it was broke down and the owner was comeing back to get it later. It was gone when I went by a few hours later.

    Layin in bed thinking about Grabbers. Alright dude you got it bad.:coco:
    Alright, I have done it also.:rolleyes:
    First you said Grabber survivors, then in the post say 71's or 2's. So I'm going with just Grabbers.
    I say just one, and its in my garage. I resqued it in Dec, "87" from a used C***y dealership for 1 "Franklin":whew:

    Well, I have 4 true 71's and looking to buy more. I'm probably going to part with 2 of my present ones since Katrina gave them a bath. I'll save my blue and green ones and I'll probably replace the two I'm selling with one back. There's lots of options out there so I just need to take my time and make sure I get a good one. I think I have my 70 Boss 302 Mustang sold also so I'll have a few extra bucks to spend on the Mavs :).

    How many 75 Grabbers do you guy's think are out there? Also I think I would talk to Coop, He seems to find all the deals in Washington.
