    Well #7 if you count the one that I hauled to the crusher over the winter.
    Dont worry it was a complete rust bucket that I stripped.

    Well this one is a shell of a car, has glass, doors trunk lid, bent fenders,bumpers, lower dash gone, quite a bit of rust in the rear wheel lip area and no title .....yet:cry: .

    You might be saying why buy it......well here is the good parts

    1 trunklid....with 3 peice grabber spoiler 150+ on ebay:dancing:
    1 black grabber grill 75+ on ebay:dance:

    1 ford branded after market under dash AC:yup:
    good floorboards
    good battery tray area


    Oh forgot to mention that this is a 72 grabber, vin and door tag match
    and is a code 93.

    no hood, I was informed by someone else that he kept it and put a junk flat hood with it.

    seeing $$$$$.....NA I figure if i can't find a good original grabber I might as well clone one.

    I just sold a 3 piece grabber spoiler assembly on ebay for $225. The buy it now lasted all of 24 hours. I was gonna sell it here but every thread I could find it was just people complaining about prices, so I went straight to ebay. Bought it at a swap for $75 the day before.
