Hi Belvederedave…I was just at a family reunion this past weekend, and we ended up talking about the very car that you’re wondering about. My aunt and uncle from close to Carleton Place owned the missing Grabber Green
Falcon. They said it was years later before they realised just how rare the car was. Sadly, they pulled the motor out of it and put it one my aunts Mustangs, so wherever the car is now, it definitely wouldn’t have the original 429.
I was only 5 when they owned the car, but I remember getting glued to the back seat whenever they pulled out to pass someone..lol

In 1973 when I was about 18 I saw one of these for sale in Smiths Falls Ontario. It was Grabber Green, bench seats, 429 badge on the bottom of the front fender and it was a 4 speed. I always remember that because I wanted it so badly but I had no way of getting the $2400 to buy it. I’ve told people about this for nearly 40 years and nobody will believe it existed. I wonder where that car is now???

This car is a very good example of what an obscure muscle car is. The last couple posts have really made the point to me. This car is definitely muscular enough with a 429, and to only be made for 6 months? I mean this is a car I never heard of until this post. I wish I had one just for the same reason its in this blog.
