    Ok I’m “THINKING” of selling this thing! I put tons of work into this heap… but I might need to sell it… I got way to many cars! What would you pay for it?

    Runs like new! Gets tons of looks!

    All new parts are more the a year old but have less then 1500 miles on it!

    New Parts

    Polished Water Pump
    Belts
    Carburetor
    Cap Rotors Wires
    MSD 6A
    MSD Blaster Coil
    Yellow Top Optima Battery
    KYB Shocks Front and Rear Gas Shocks
    Powered coated Stock Rims
    5 Bridgestone Tires 225-70/14s
    ACC Carpet
    Seats redone with Original Upholstery material
    Turn Signal Lever
    Dome Light
    Door Locks
    Window Handles
    Window Weather Striping
    Gas Tank
    Gas Tank Sender
    Trunk Mat
    All Poly Bushings on the front Sway bar, Lower Control Arm etc.
    7/8 Addco Sway bar
    Control Arms Lower and Upper
    Grab A Track Springs.. (not the ones shown in the photo)
    Spring Perch
    Tie Rods
    Slotted and Drilled Rotors
    Rear Brakes
    Mc Guard Wheel Locks

    Some other stuff done to it.

    Power Coated Granada Spindles
    Rebuilt Tranny with Transgo Shift Kit
    A1 2400 2600 11 inch Stall Converter
    Pioneer CD Head Unit Pioneer 6x9s with 300 watt bazooka Amp (Subwoofer Not Included.)
    Old School Sun Tach (not hooked up yet)
    Newly Chromed Air Cleaner Top, PS Steering Bracket, Alt Bracket, Smog Pump Bracket and Pulleys
    Faded Chromed ShockTower Brackets and Supports and Hood Latch.
    Polished Air Pump
    V8 3 Core Radiator
    Original Dog Dish and Beauty Rings

    This is original paint and motor with 130,000 on it. Doesn’t Burn Oil or Drip Oil, Tranny Fluid or Power Steering. Previous Owner said it was rebuilt but did not know when… I take it as it wasn’t but you never know.

    What needs to be done... heater core is gone. Tank likes to puke fuel when you pump gas... seem to be a typical problem though on these years. Headliner need to be done. Window on driver side is sticky when rolling it down. Small Dents dimples in roof and Lower side pannel on driver side below door. Again this is orginal paint!

    anyways I think you remember what I did to this puppy!

    My best guess would be around $5,000. I am baseing that off compareing it to Dan Hines' '74 ('72 Grabber clone) 6 cylinder car, and what it went for. That is a damn nice car you have, but as you state it sounds like it needs a few more little details to be on the level of Dan's old car.

    At first I thought you were talking about your blue car. In that case I was just going to tell you you've lost your mind to think of selling that car. ;)

    This car may not look as sporty as the yellow car I sold Rick .. but mechanically it is superior (except for the original 130K engine) .... Unfortunately a cat hump car with no buckets and still having the big bumpers is gonna drop the price quite a bit ... Jamie may be pricing it on the high side ... keep in mind the car I sold had a freshly rebuilt 250 and no mechanical issues ... also had all Grabber parts including a rust-free hood. LDO Bucket Interior was perfect except for a small hole in headliner ... and was a floor shifter (converted) car with all factory parts.

    yeah for sure no wear close to your car. orginal paint can't compare to a nice new paint job... not to menation the motor you put in it. you think i 4000 for it.

    I think $4k is reasonable ... it sure looks pretty in all those pictures you posted! :)
