    I have a grille from my old '67 Electra buried in the garage (same part number). I'll try to get a pic this evening or tomorrow if possible. Probably has some pitting, it's been a loooong time. I know the ultra expensive trishield emblem is missing.

    Stay tuned...the boss's garage sale setup is preventing any archaeological digs for the moment. Sunday may be my first chance.

    Sorry for the delay,

    dont even worry about it. You can save time and energy if you can find a similar image online, maybe from ebay that matches yours and i can tell you if it look like the one i need....?

    just a thought.

    I have an extra one available. I bought one off E-Bay and then got another on a parts car. Both are in good condition. I can take a phone pic tonight and send it to an E-Mail if you like.

    Sorry about the late response to your post, a little computer trouble yesterday. We had a pretty good little storm. It is funny you post that pic, it is my wall paper on my computer. That is the exact grill that I have two of.

    how are the condition of the gillres? any major pitting?

    No, this is not my car, it is a very nice stock version of my car. I have a 67 LeSabre Convert but it is not this car. Mine is bagged all four and is just getting put back together after a fresh 430ci transplant. I will look the spare grill over and give you an honest assessment and a price quote. I also have a 2 door hard top in pretty good condition if there are any additional parts you may need that are interchangible between them. Or the whole car??

    its bagged no way?!! mine is baggin, just the rear.

    im scared to do the front of mine cuz i dont want to mess up the bag alignment. ive seen too many bags bowing out and busting.

    as for parts, HELL YEA.

    I can not believe that I do not have any pics of it e-mailable. Yep bags all four corners. Right now the whole front clip is off being cleaned and painted to be put back together, I am excited to have it back on the road unser BBB power. When I did the rear I converted to a 3.73 Posi and disc brakes all the way around too. It gets pretty darn low.

    I will check on the lenses and emblem for the quarter. I am not sure of condition there. Do you need both sides emblems?

    no i think theyre the same i only need one emblem.

    discs?! damn wish i had discs. but i do love my 45 fin drums

    Ok, did not know. I will look at both cars tonight.

    Grill
    Ft lenses
    emblems

    I have the drums from the Coupe still on the car if anyone needs them, do not know the condition though. I am having trouble stripping this car down and taking it to the bone yard, it is to nice to destroy. If you know anyone that would like a 2dr hdtp, this one will be cheap!

    FYI 73-87 C-10 rotors, brgs, seals are bolt on for the front spindles. The C-10 Calipers fit well in the front with Scarebird brackets. Bolt pattern stays the same and the wheels and tires sit the same spot as the drums. All of this is cheaper than rebuilding the OE brake system up front. My 2 cents.

    Here's what I have:

    There's the usual pitting on the painted area, back in the late '80's I'd already wet sanded and primed/painted that area quite a bit, but it'll need some more attention (you can see the paint's flaked off in areas). The unpainted areas of chrome have some micropits, but it seems to shine up well with chrome polish. It's straight and the threaded holes seem to be in good shape. Great for a driver, maybe not so much for show unless you really spend some time on the painted areas. I did those areas in gloss black and it looked great two decades ago!

    The wierd bracket attached at the center was to accomodate my '67 Electra's tilt front end. It can simply be unbolted from the stud.

    Stage 1 emblem not included, and again the center emblem is trash, and isn't right for '67 anyway.

    Make me an offer, I don't know what shipping will be. I'd wait to see Jay's pics before you make a decision.
