I have chance to pick up this grill, bumper and gauge cluster for $380. Is that a good price?

is the bumper OEM or repo?

I'm not even sure if they repro. the '62 grill. It looks real cherry. If it was a '63 grill I'd almost give 380 just for that alone!

youd be hard pressed to find another grill in that condition for much less. thats without the gauge cluster. if the cluster works then thats a plus. i happen to like the 62 chevy grill, thats a one year only item...but what do i know, im a gmc guy.

well in the lmc catalog for the reg. repop chrome bumper goes for the $149 and a premium chrome bumper $189 then you figure in shipping. so say $200 or more...if going premium that means $90 for the grill and $90 for the gauges.....depends if gauges work,and how bad you need/want them.....and the bumper in the pics looks like it doesnt have the bolt holes recessed and looks to be a repop.

Heck yeah it's worth it!!! regardless if the bumper is a repop. The grill looks great and it's chrome. Just to chrome plate a grill it's expensive. I have seen grills here locally for up to $450 and painted. Not that he ever got it. But no one makes them. A Gauage cluster in good condition can go from $75.00 to $100. I say go for it if it'swith in your means...

When I saw the title of the thread, I thought to myself that it seemed a bit high. Once I saw the grille, I have to say that it's a deal. I'd go for it. 1962 grilles in that shape are very, very uncommon.

if you have a 62 would say you will probably never run across a deal like that again.
