    Went to see the movie called Radio last night, it was set in 1976 and based on a true story. In the early part of the film, some high school kid pulls up in front of a house with a green and black 71-72 Grabber, its a night scene (bummer) so you cant get a real good look at it.

    I kept an eye open through the rest of the movie, but did not see it again. but they do have a lot of mid sixties cars throughout the film.

    thought you would like to know

    p/s the movie was pretty good

    Very well could have been. They should have shot that one in the day time so we could fully enjoy the automobile
