    Here is Ralph's original 71 Grabber Sticker ... I elaborated on the Grabber package so folks at cars show's could learn what a Grabber was ... Notice that even the original window sticker makes no mention of a 302 ... and Ralphs car built fairly late into the Model year ... June 71 ...

    Mine's bogus....somewhat.

    I did this last year. I had it at the Roundup but few people payed attention. Tim Wilmoth sent me a scan of his original window sticker. I have the DMV history-so the dealer listed on mine is correct. I made it a '73 since I did the bumper swap.

    This is Tim's:

    I made mine using MS Publisher. I watermarked the cat on
    the FLM sign and inserted it. You can barely see it in Tim's
    scan. I used many of his price figures. I just added a few
    items and guessed at prices. Note I also identified the
    features of the 'GT package'.

    I had considered...

    ...trying to reproduce my build sheet. I never found mine.

    I bought this window sticker and build sheet for a '72 GT
    off of E-bay. I decided making a build sheet was a bit
    too difficult.

    Yea, only way I could see it would be to figgure out what the diffrent codes were for each thing. 90% of whats on the one for my Grabber is just seemingly meaningless codes for each option, such as "Suspension: FRONT: BAT BAT REAR: LAG LAG" or "pulley: 108AA" . I have no idea what any of it means. The window sticker is the only paper I don't have to that car. I have everything else down to the 1975 State Farm insurance cards and mini calender. ;)

    Ray, that would be too cool! People would be seriously scratching their head then. :)

    Your option list shows a 4-speed with Hurst shifter but down in the blue section they only say available transmissions are a 3-speed manual or optional automatic.

    The 302 and disc brakes aren't on there either. I think he needs to take all that stuff back off. Change it all back Dan...before I have to turn you in. :cool:

    Intresting, do you know what it meant, or was it just a part number? The original front passenger side spring from my Grabber still has the factory tag on it by some miracle. I'll have to see if it matches the build sheet next time I go to NC.
