73 -74 grille

A new use for the grilles I've been collecting (hoarding) according to my wife.

Re: 73 -74 grille

I have a couple extras also. I don't think I will ever have enough hot wheels to fill these up. It does make a cool display.

Re: 73 -74 grille

That's awesome! I had been considering buying a repop 73-74 to put on my 78 and putting the current 73/74 grille that's on there on the wall. Might have to do this.

Thanks for that. I tried to go lower on the offer and I guess it wasn't good enough lol. Good thing cause I found an entire front clip that matches my 78 c30 color combo. It's not a 73-74 but it's a 75 with the 454 emblem that I really like. Got it for a cool $100 and it's in way better condition than my original clip

This is the old front clip
