    Years ago I bought a 71 GS455 conv , it didn't have a grille and 71 grilles
    didn't exist ! I bought a 72 GS grille ( about $50 )and new 71 headlight door.
    They matched up as I remember with no problem .
    Yours should work, but the 72 hood lip mldg is wider then the 71.
    Hope this helps .

    It sound like you found a '71 Custom Skylark grille, as, the GS grille has no chrome bars. It should fit perfectly and look nice, too.

    As mentioned the 71 grille is taller than a 72 so it would not look just right at the top.
