    hi i found your web page because i have a customer who has a 74
    grabber looks in good shape all stock that that i am concedering buying. to
    build daughter a bracket car. its been sitting a while is an automatic
    floor shifter a/c dont know if it has 4 lug or five but guessing 4
    because it is a straight 6 that is the draw back and what it would take to
    install a V8, and what its even worth. what does the grabber mean? thought had some scoop on hood or something, can you still get the decals?
    >any ideas? STRODGUY2003@YAHOO.COM
    >
    >thanks tony

    all 74's were 5 lug. Not tough switching to an 8 ... the swap parts are on eBay all the time. The stripe kits are available repop ... do a google search for Grabber Stripe Kit. Several companies sell them. Got any pics?

    Howdy and :Welcome:
    The Grabber was just a paint & trim package that you could buy from late 70 to 75. Only the 71 & 72 Grabbers had the special hood.

    :Welcome:, with the stock hood you could put a big scoop in the middle real easy. or if you want the grabber scoops, you can get a fiberglass reproduction from auto krafters. theres a lot of ways to go, whatever makes her happy(y). by the way, im real close if you need help or advice.
