    Hey everyone,
    I receive so much help from this group that I thought I'd try and give back some by documenting the 72 Grabbers. Hence, I developed a 1972 Grabber Registry site. Its a work in progress but do drop in and check things out when you get a chance. I look forward to any words of wisdom to make the site better so let me know. Most importantly I hope all of you with original 1972 Grabbers will take the time to register your awesome machine. Furthermore, if someone out there knows of a Grabber in a salvage yard or sitting out somewhere let me record that information too so we know it exists;then maybe I can post it for others to see.
    Thanks again so much for everyone's continued support, encouragement and all out camaraderie that makes this site great!
    Semper Fidelis,
    Kevin

    Here is the site's address:

    Great idea!! Make sure Seth gets this info so he can add it to the Maverick Comet Club International, Inc (MCCI) bi-monthly newsletter. Lots of other registries listed in there as well.

    Have you thought about adding the 71 Grabber to your site too, since they are virtually the same car and the only year for the grabber hood?

    A 71 Grabber registry already exists so I guess he was just stepping up in creating the 72 registry. I think it is great. By the way what do you mean by the only year for the grabber hood? My 72 has the grabber hood and from what I can tell it's original to the car.

    I meant to imply that 71 and 72 were the only years for the grabber hood.

    I'm not sure who does it but I could have sworn I saw a post about it in this site. Could I have been mistaken?

    Thought about it because of that very reason but thought it might become too big of a monster to sort etc. And I thought it'd be better to keep the years apart for count reasons etc. --Mine was built in Dec. 71 :). lol Anyway, if someone who has a 71 Grabber wants to do jump in there--otherwise I could create the same sort of a site if you all think its alright and has everything.
    **Let me know if nobody else wants to do it and I'll try to put her together in my spare time. :rofl2: Seriously though, I could put it together if others are interested. I just have an interest in the 72 because for obvious reasons. I'd think others might feel the same about their 71 and be motivated to do likewise. I think ownership in the site's creation/reason etc. is important.
    Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Be sure to check back now and then for added cars and the like to the site.
    Semper Fi,
    Kevin
    PS So far I only have one other car registered. Where are the others??? When you get the chance ladies and gents.

    Is there a site for 1972 Sprints? could you add it to your site since it's a one year only car?:)
