:Handshake New to this realm. Just stole a 72 grabber? for $350. Wouldn't start, no fuel, been sitting. Hooked the fuel pump up to a quart can of gas duct taped to the shock tower, started it up and drove it home. Even got the guy to give me a ride back to pick up my van. It's not much to look at right now. It does have the grabber hood. I think it has the spoiler rear, but need to look at one. Some rust in lower quarters. I do have a mig, but not expert at it. I've only seen the whole quarters for sale. Is anybody making just the lower patch panels? Poor yellow paint job. Decent wheels and tires. 200 6 cyl. 3 on the floor, buckets, original AM radio and an 8 track No smoke, no knocks. Needs seat covers, headliner, dash pad..... Emblems are missing so not sure it's a real grabber. Is there a vin decode somewhere? I haven't done blue oval for a while but past cars include: 68 Galaxy 390 65 Mustang 289 73 cougar 351c I'm going to build this one as an inline. Save some gas and look cool too. Just clean it up and drive. Maybe join the local inliners club. I hear they have events at the local strip sometimes. I hope this doesn't get me in hot water here but my other present cars are a 67 barracuda (not really cherry, good driver) and a dodge van. Hey, I've had Chevy pickups and a Nash Metro too. My high school car was a 60 pontiac Catalina. It was 6 years old at the time, so you know I'm an old... Ben
Check out this link: http://home.comcast.net/~petebre/maverick/decode/1972.html Your vin's "Body Serial Code" should be 93 if it's a true Grabber.
Thanks for the info! :bananaman Body is 62D so it's a real grabber. I won a driver's quarter pannel on ebay. He's gonna cut off the lower part and dogleg for easy shipping. Does anybody need the top portion of the panel? Ben
welcome to the board. check your vin #. the first number is the year. if it has a 93 in the vin it is a grabber. if it has a 91 it's not. 62d is the 2dr model.
Yeah it's a grabber Thanks all for the welcome. Glad to be here. Vin body code is 93. Paint code 6f. It's now more like taxicab yellow. Interior shocolate (that's kinda like chocolate). Seats, headliner trash. Low back buckets might be nicer. Hmmmm... Great info on that site. Ben
