    Great find on the rear window louvers. Razorsharp sold and extra set he had awhile back for around $700.00 or more maybe. There are only four sets know to exist before you found this set, which makes 5 sets now. I am lucky enough to have a set of those stashed away for mine.
    If you are interested in selling the tri power set up let me know. Shoot me a pm. Great find on all of the parts. :thumbs2: Good luck!

    Thanks Everyone, I must tell you some more things that I was told by the PO, he states the guy he bought it from did at one time drag race this car, it is supposed to be a 200 I6 with a 170 log reworked ported and shaved, it has not been ran since 2003....until today!! I spent most of today going ove it checking things in prep for starting it, I hooked up a battery and turned it over with no spark to the plugs, checked for and found voltage to the coil so I moved on to the dizzy, there I found new points that were there but not tightened down, I set the point gap, reassembled and turned the key..........OH MY, this little booger sounds mean as hell, idles fine revs up fine and starts with the bump of the key!! I can't move it as it is stuck in the sand I had put down it the yard but the tranny goes into gears just fine, if this thing runs anything like it sounds like it will, it's gonna be a little bad a** six, I can't post pics yet and I will as soon as I can, charging camera batteries, also gonna try and get some video of the engine while it is running so everyone can hear it, I did get a chance to look at the rear louver today and I don't think it's all there, but the rest could be in the car under all those pine needles, looks to be missing the hinged mounting points, I got alot of NEW parts with this car, a windshield seal in the bag, door weatherstripping seals in the bags, and the front bumper is in fine condition, no rust at all on it, but the car is a different story as far as rust goes, more on that later, got three extra early fenders, two extra doors but no back glass (i do have one though) and the sunroof blew out on the trip home and shattered all over the highway, there is one and a half Grabber spoilers in it and four grilles, the gas tank looks like new but is not installed, I do have the title to it, I am still in the evaluating stages on this car but am real excited by getting it running and it sounding so mean lol.......I promise pics are on the way.

    There's a green grabber in Phoenix,Az with a rear louver I spotted under a carport about 4 years ago. I asked if he might consider selling the car.He said it's been in the family & is planning to keep it that way. Havn't seen it for a couple of years now. I understand there's an issue if you want in the trunk.Maybe there were a couple different ones offered at some point.

    It's only running on one carb, the progressive linkage is missing from them, mechanical gauge says 40 # of oil pressure.

    Alot of compression, sounds like a bit of a cam also, headers into single pipe sounds pretty mean.
