awhitlow0869 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Anyone have any ideas where I may find a New or Reconditioned grill for my 72 Custom? Or know anyone that reconditions them? Would I possibly find one at Carlisle in June? Quote
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Use your search function of your ISP. Simply type in 72 Monte Carlo Front Grill for sale. You should get some hits as a starting point. Finding a good core can be hard to find for a reasonable price and you should view it thoroughly before purchase. I remember someone saying there is a Reconditioner who specializes in restorations but can't remember what they are called but believe they were in South East United States. Someone will chime in I'm sure' Be prepared to spend a few coins on a (Good Core) and then be prepared to pay again depending on how much work Grill needs per your preferences. Doug. 1 Quote
Mike Brichta Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 There actually is an NOS one at Carlisle. I've looked at it for the past few years. It isn't cheap but it is perfect. I think he was asking around $1100. I am planning to go in April. Let me know if you need my help finding it. 1 Quote
awhitlow0869 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks Mike. What's going on at Carlisle in April? I may just have to make that trip myself. Quote
Mike Brichta Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Spring Carlisle is the 3rd week in April. One of the best parts meet of the year. 1 Quote

awhitlow0869 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 Well folks I found my grill. I met a guy that bought a bunch of chevelle parts and just happened there was a 72 grill in the mix. Grill is in perfect shape. Don’t think it’s ever been on a car. I got it for little to nothing because he wasn’t into Monte Carlos and was going to throw it away! Thank you all for your replies. 4 Quote
Rob Peters Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Wow.... you were very lucky to snag that one..... Did he have any 70 Grills? rob 1 Quote
awhitlow0869 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Posted January 23, 2018 Sorry Rob, my grill was the only Monte part he had. Not sure how it ended up with all the Chevelle parts, but I know I'm sure glad it did. Quote
Canuck Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Good find! I found a near perfect 70 grill for cheap one time. Sometimes you have to be in the right place at the right time. 1 Quote
MC1of80 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Great find!!! Right place, right time! Lol Mr Peters, I have a few 70 grills “in stock”. What condition are you looking for? Quote
Jared Richey Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 My 70 has an nos one that was left for dead in the back of a junk car, no grooves around the mounting bolts. Had acid damage in a few crates, well more than a few, pot metal eat away somehow, rebuilt with glass filler, and body filler. Detailed out and can't tell it. Had it been in the position of my grill badge, no repair would have been needed. Quote
Michael Boyte Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Good luck with the 72 grill. For us, we bought 5 cores to choose from. Advanced Plating in Tennessee did a fantastic job (not cheap). $1100 for NOS is a great deal Quote
Palmbchmonte Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 MC1of80 thanks but I found one on Ebay before I seen your response. Quote
72thebarter Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Try jim dyers in stockton Calif i seen a 70 therr today and they asking 250 Quote
MC1of80 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 All good. I have a few nice 70 and 71 grills. Quote
