Rare find: 67/68 NOS Grille - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Joe67 · 08-08-2005, 02:13 PM

I saw this NOS 67/68 front grille at the Carlisle swap meet this past weekend

Not too often you come across something like this. Asking price was $450.00

No, I didn't buy it

panhandler62 · 08-08-2005, 02:20 PM

I don't think I saw that....

My feet hurt from all the walking.. I think I saw 3/4 of the trucks and about 1/4 of the vendors!

Joe67 · 08-08-2005, 02:22 PM

It was on an end booth near Gate 1 I believe

panhandler62 · 08-08-2005, 02:31 PM

We came in Gate II and I don't think we ventured much to the left of that (as you come in) untill we got to the food court area.

Did you see the Cameo truck? My GF was baffled, to say the least, at my excitement over that. It also took me about 15 minutes to convince her that the Corvair truck was not a custom. LOL

Joe67 · 08-08-2005, 02:34 PM

:LOL: I did see a cameo driving through the swap area Late Saturday I think.

There were tons of good parts there this year

panhandler62 · 08-08-2005, 02:50 PM

Oh yes... I could easily have dumped several grand. Good thing I came with discipline (and no truck to haul off the sweet set of '99 Silvarado Seats I saw!)

There was a baby-blue 66 short bed that you could have talked me into pretty easy too. Oh.. and don't even get me started on the yellow 70 pro-street truck!

Joe67 · 08-08-2005, 02:53 PM

LOL

This Blazer was in the swap area as well

68haywagon · 08-08-2005, 05:35 PM

That was a beautiful truck. I stopped and looked at it a few times.

I had no problem not spending too much money here. I didn't bring enough

Nice truck, a lil 2 much red for me, I would of liked to seen a chrome bumper
up front, as for that NOS grill section, I wish I could have gone, I'd bought it

if the truck swapmeet was too much for you then i wouldn't suggest you ever try the spring and fall shows at carslile

panhandler62 · 08-08-2005, 06:17 PM

I saw the Blazer, it was like the last thing we checked out before we left.

It wasn't the swapmeet that wore me out... it was trying to see every last truck on display and in the funfield that wore the 'ol peds to ribons. lol

**Tim Christian** · 08-08-2005, 08:26 PM

When I was in Maple Grove, PA a couple of weeks ago they was a guy that had 4 of the NOS 67-68 grills for $200.00 each but I would rather have a nice used one because you would still have to have the two housings that attach to the back side so you would have to buy a pretty good used grill to get these anyway

I second that! Try dragin' a wagon behind you for the whole swapmeet too

*wolfthing2000* · 08-09-2005, 12:08 PM

I feel pretty good! I picked up an entire front clip complete and hood for 200.00 dollars. Virtualy rust free cept under battery area on the rad support. It was off a 68 with full trim.

Joe67 · 08-09-2005, 01:17 PM

Nice deal on that clip - was it at Carlisle? I didn't see it there.

He lives behind me.He got them when he bought a bunch of nos Nova parts.And Yes,67c10step,the nos grill was just below gate 1.He also had a cruise control.It was $$$$

69oldie · 08-09-2005, 06:17 PM

How much does he want for the cruise control??...What year is the cruise for? Can you find out what the part # on the cruise box is? I'm interested in it.
Thanks.

69TowRig · 08-09-2005, 07:34 PM

There was WAY too much there for me to buy and I didn't bring a truck to put it all in! So I went home with just a couple small things.

smokekiki · 08-09-2005, 10:46 PM

Sorry for the confusion,the guy behind me was at Maple Grove.The Guy with the cruise was at Carlisle.It was $400
