A friend of mine is in need of a grill for a 68-69 Skylark. No need to be a GS grill or anything. Just plain jane. Only request is that it is in one GOOD piece. Buicksmithray:
I have a repairable 69 standard grille. Actually, it's one whole one and another one for parts. With studs, does need some work. These are easy to fix with PVC cement. I was supposed to get to it over the winter, well it's still sitting where I put it last fall.ou: $50.00 plus shipping? Thanks, Rich
Buicksmith, we'll need to know which year grille surround this grille will go with. A 68 grille needs a 68 chrome surround, and a 69 grille needs a 69 chrome surround. The grille and surround set will interchange between the 2 years physically, but you can't mix-n-match different years of those 2 pieces for 68 and 69 cars. By the way, Frank McIntyre sells the only reproduction 69 GS grilles. His id here is buicfrank, I believe.
Hey 54rich thanks for the great offer. Is that Price for both of the grills? How much for shipping? I will talk to my friend tonite, but i think he will go for it. I will let you know tomorow, Fri. Buy the way, his is a 68. Thanks again, BuickSmith
It's a 69 grille, so he would need the 69 surround. It would fit on his car if he had the right surround, however, it's not right for the car. I don't know where you are located, however, the last one I shipped was around $50.00. You'd also have to buy a box, I don't have aything that would fit. I would guess that he'd be in it for $125.00 give or take. Thanks, Rich
ok. I will talk with him tonight if he is home. He works on the oil rigs, so he works some off hours. I am in Killdeer ND. 30mi north on hwy 22 out of Dickinson ND. I will let you know. Thanks again. BuickSmith
I think I have a 69 grille only (no surround) that is good except where it goes up to the headlights. It was broke on one side and I had to cut the other off to use it on a 68, I will have to dig it up and take another look at it. I'm located in TN 38401 and I will take $50. plus actual shippping UPS. I have a box. Jim N.
I think I still have one, it is off a 68 special, but is in pretty good shape, it is my spare. Had it on mine for shows, and it showed well on mine until I found a regular Skylark grill,that I had to peice together. But my special grill is in good shape.
Since I didn't hear anything from you (It's been a week)o No: I guess you weren't interested. My grille is no longer available. Looks like you still have some nice options. Good Luck Rich
Hey rich. Sorry for not geting back to you sooner. I tryed to get ahold of my friend, but to no luck, sory again. I gess it wasn't as important to him as i thought. BuickSmith
I understand, Ive found parts for people only to have them dink around for ever. I've also held parts for people, just to have them back out and leave me with parts I could have sold. When I didn't hear back, I gave it a week and another person stepped up and bought it.:beer Thanks, Rich
Scott, I located the grille I was telling you about. It's a 69 that is in good shape except where it extends under the headlight bezels on each side it is cut off on one side and broken off on the other. I did this to put it in a 68. Looks like all the holes are good and not broken out anywhere and grille is not broken anywhere. If you are interested I will take $50. + actual shipping. I will be at the Nationals on Thursday I'm thinking now. Thanks Jim Netherland
