68 Stainless Grille

Post by moparmania »

I have a 68 stainless grille, needs polishing. Comes with headlight bezels, headlights, buckets (rusty), blinkers. Looks like the two bottom outer mounts may have been cut?

$250 + actual shipping.

PM me email address for more pictures. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I made the correction in my ad. I think the 68 grille is more common than the 67?

Also the grills are anodized aluminum.

I have no idea how many bumps came from the factory with bright grills. Painted steel grills were the low end.

I wish it was a 67; I probably would have bought it right after you posted. I'm holding out for a polished or chromed 67, or chroming mine, though.

yes, 68 grilles are more common than 67s, by a longshot.

I seen the one on e-bay and 1200.00 is way to much. Maybe someone might reproduce one in the near future.

According to Dennis Carpenter's Customer Service, this is what I was told:
WE ARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE FOR MAKING THE DIES FOR '68/69 GRILLES, NOT '67. WHEN COMPLETE, THE MANUFACTURING WILL TAKE PLACE WITH OUR ASSOCIATED COMPANIES IN CHINA. WE DO NOT EXPECT THESE TO BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE UNTIL APPROXIMATELY APRIL 2014.No telling what the price will be. Hopefully the fit will be good.
