    That Grabber looks like a good car to get a hold of. I agree with Dan on the white interior. Even more reason to try and get it. How are you holding up with all the flooding out there?

    ?The Grabber did you see it on hwy 93 out side of Mackay Id between Butte city and hwy 93 / 75 jct. If so that is the one I saw last year when I was working up in that area and could'nt stop . Good luck adding it to your stable.

    I did find it in Idaho, but I'm not telling, until I find out if the guy is selling. The rivers are at there fullest, anymore and I'm going to have water on my door step. Got a car show tomorrow, later. Is white interior rare?

    White interiors are harder to find, and just look so darned good.

    That color combo isn't seen very often either.

    This would be a car to get a Marti report on. I would bet it is very low numbers.

    Is it a V8 or any other interesting options?

    What I am getting at here is that might be a car that calls for a resto, not hot rodding. :thumbs2:

    Now that's what I call a supreme example of the Madness. Surrounded by water and still headed to a car show!

    Good luck with your find. Looks like you picked up some real deals, too.

    Back from the car show, I was the only Comet there. No Mavs either. I think that is because Eagle had a HUGE car show (2000 or better cars) I wanted to attend that one but they wanted 25 bux entry or something like that. The car show I went to was by donation and you got a shirt and dash plaque. All proceeds went to the Lions so I gave 15 bux. Plus, it was alot closer, and with the fuel cost, closer is better. I'd say 50 or better cars where at this show. Some guy even call my car "The Vomet". But when he seen how much I paid for it he shut up. Somebody even showed up in a Chrysler Maseratti, looked like a Lebaron to me. I had the ugliest car there. I need to get to work on this car.

    Like the "custom" liscense plate. Oh the things you can do with a little creativity and the "paint" program.

    Well, its been over a year since I've seen the grabber. I finally got to see her up close and personal. She is a 1972 with a 302 automatic on the column. The owner is the son of the original owner, it has 25000 original miles. It doesn't have white interior, just seat covers. The interior is brown and very nice condition. The gentleman said he was not going to part with it. So no dice on adding thise little one to my stable.:cry:
