    Looking for one of my buddies cars. His has every stud broken and is held together with zip ties. Told him I would try to find a decent driver grade grill. Something with at least most of the studs. Just a plain skylark. Not a gs.

    Should have both the 72 plastic as well as the metal one. Which does he need?

    His is plastic. Glad you said something Fred. I didn't realize there were two different styles

    Hi Dan,

    Just FYI here is the 1972 style Buick Custom metal grill just so he can learn a lil something new too

    @Matt Knutson had a plastic one for sale at Cecil - I didn't look too closely at the condition. Not sure if he sold it or if he'd ship it & but I might be heading out that way next month & could drop it off.

    Just stumbled across one of my metal 72 Custom grills.
    Thing is NICE! No cracks,breaks & has all clean (nice threads) mounting points.
    PM me if that would work for him.

    Thanks. I'm waiting to here back from my buddy. Everyone's in a hurry for one until you find them one then nothing. I told him I have some options for him.

    At some point in the future I’ll be looking for a new grille for my ‘72. The one I have is “ok” but has some issues. What’s a metal unit go for?

    I’d definitely pay that for a good metal grille. If the original poster has his, I’d be open to snagging one

    That was picked up not shipped from North Carolina.
    I think I may have one more left but very sick so might be a few days

    I’m in Utah, so picking up would be challenging. If you’re willing to ship, let me know. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

    I could probably find a box and charge only actual shipping, gotta start clearing stuff out of here.
    PM any other parts you need,I have a hoarders collection of 67-73
