    Yes that is the one the pictures make it look better than it is but it is still in very good shape for being 35 years old , it needs a paint job.

    By the Marti report it is a one of one if it goes down to what tires it was ordered with. I don't know yet if I want to make it all original or leave it the way it is. How hard is it to find original intake , carb., valve covers , and , exhaust manifolds?

    I got it for less , I think he was just ready to get rid of it. He gave me the original form that they filled out to order the car along with alot of other documentation. Back to my original question has anyone seen another black grabber , this is the first one I have seen and I have been to alot of shows.
