Why-o-why doesn't someone reproduce this part?
Is it true that it will fit up to '79? If so, can't we take a 75-79 front grille and use it on our 73-74?

Nope. 73-74 only. 75 the nose changed and the license plate area became solid, no more center grill.

My guess would be that the reserve is right close to the $300 mark :(

Lets hope it stays within a resonable pricerange..Why,o why ,cant any manufacturer(sp?) start to reproduce this part.. :cry :cheers:
If someone could lend us his grill and take it to a someone who makes statues and make a mold.Then it could be quite simple to cast one in alu or something similar..maybe i`m just ranting away here.. :cheers:

Hmmm...I got $295.50 for mine earlier this year on Ebay, with really nice chrome. I guess $300 ain't outa line?
Oh yeah, sold it to a guy in Round Rock...my home town BTW...
Bought my '74 grill on Ebay about 3 years ago for $160, though...

Think I will chain mine on. They are getting more expensive than hub caps for someone to steal.
