    Those two years, are they the least desirable Grabbers or are they just hard to come by? Asking this since I try to do a search to see what their main features were but nothing comes up.

    Also wanting to do a search to see what they look like(stripe package) yet nothing comes up.

    74 and 75 sold fewer in production numbers.

    Nice! That looks the orange interior that I love!

    WOW! I love that color scheme.

    Thanks for the info guys. So a question then, are the 74 and 75 grabbers somewhat more rare than the earlier Grabbers?

    The correct way to refer to it is, there were less produced in 1974, and 1975, with 75 having the lowest number of Grabbers produced compared to any other year.
    Now, rare seems to be a whole other discussion. :)
    Either way, it's rare to see either year with the big bumpers.
    I plan on restoring my 74 Grabber, and leaving the big bumpers on it.

    We've already been down that road. :rofl: :biglaugh:
    I'm glad to hear the big bumpers are staying!
