    Just bought my first Grabber and I gotta say, I love it already. The car is all original, everything is basically intact down to the factory jack. There are a few spots of rust and a couple dings, but nothing major. The interior is in amazing condition for a car almost 40 years old, I really can't believe it. Even the headliner is intact.

    Does anybody know what trim package this car has? I think the trim code is LA, but I can't tell for sure. What do you guys think of the car?

    Wow ... that is in pretty amazing shape .... nice survivor.

    Bucket seats, floor shifter, neat color scheme too. I think this car deserves a Marti report. I have seen this color combo before, but not very often.

    How did you come to find it? It looks like it has been tucked away in a garage all this time.
