    1964 early 1965 tall Engine Grille

    Used very early in production, research indicates about 600 cars used this grille and the proceeds should hopefully help fund a new roof for my house
    No broken studs, needs restoration. $6500.00

    Update:
    If it makes any difference, all the crossbar nuts have been soaking in Kroil for 3 months and have all been loosened, so no broken pieces to replace.

    901 Grille
    I spent several hours inhaling MEK cleaning the updated flat black paint off my (kinda) rare 901 grille.
    Vast improvement!
    All fasteners are loose, none broken. Still has a few bends from the last 53 years, looks like someone tried to install a badge or something and broke some of the mesh.

    901 Grille still available.
    I'm open to the suggestion that I might have priced this rare piece of P-Car technical engineering and artwork a bit too, let's say, loftily.

    bump please and open to realistic offers, whatever that is.
    Still need the house re-roofed!

    Curious- and no offense to ptrsbtrs, how does one tell what generation of 911 this grill is from.

    the beams are slimer and taller on the early one--like the one advertised. the easy way to distinguishe both versions is to have a look at the rivets.(last pic in the ad)
    on the later version they are in the center

    Curious also about the full-length black (rubber/plastic?) "ladder" gasket between the mounting studs on these grills. PET and my later cars ('68) show only a round washer on each of the studs, so I assume this ladder gasket is also a unique part with these early grills?
