Default 1973 front grilles

I’m looking for the drivers side and passenger side front grilles for my 73 project.
Thanks, Greg

Hi Dave,
Thanks for responding.
I assume you just did a typo and meant PM and not DM?
Please send me some pictures of what you have.
Mine are in horrible condition.
A prior owner had broken off the two screws that hold in the parking light assembly’s on both and the lights were held in place with silicone only.
The drivers side is cracked in two places where it was bent at some time.

Default Grills

Hello Greg,
I have a very nice of original metal set for $150 shipped.
I also have a set of plastic ones for $75 shipped.

Do you need the clear front lights. I have a very nice clear set, looks new, $125 for the pair shipped. Pair of driver quality, $100 shipped.

If interested I can pull them out and take pictures.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Please send me the pictures of the originals.
The price is fair for $150.00 shipped.
If they are nice I will take them.
I have a set of new lights, but thanks.

The two at the bottom of the picture are the metal ones.
There is a chip out of the upper corner, hard to see after being installed. Also by the left corner of the light housing I see a small crack. I can examine further after I remove the light housing if interested. I also included the part numbers, when I looked them up online I see them matching both 73 and 74. I don’t know which is accurate or if both are. Sorry I don’t have a book to confirm. See pictures for the two flaws.

The single one is plastic, I am still looking for its match. I have it, just have to weed through my 80 bins of extra parts. Unfortunately I don’t think the wife will allow me spending much time in the garage before our large Thanksgiving event. I
will look again this weekend if interested.



Bottom two metal.

I tried sending you a couple of PM’s but they didn’t go through.
I am going to go with Dual Quad Dave’s set.
Thanks,
Greg
