73-74 Grilles?
« on: November 21, 2009, 09:56:25 pm »
Does anyone know where to buy a new 73'-74' grille? I can't find 'em anywhere. Its all 75'+ all the time, everywhere. I would like one with the bowtie emblem in the center, not the kind that are cheapo no name brand knock offs. The only ones are on ebay and there usually broken or something. Thanks!

All that's available is aftermarket unless you watch eBay for a used one. Or try the classifieds here but I know of no new ones.

No one reproduces 73-74 grilles and No aftermarket company reproduces grills with Bowties.  Only source is used.

Is there any reason why nobody makes grilles for the 1973-74 Chevrolet? Those are the best looking grilles in my opinion. I'd figure they would be more popular. Thanks.

I suppose because there probably isn't a high demand for them to make it profitable to license and reproduce those grilles.

Tooling cost for a 2 year only setup.
