Which one? early 68 had the split bar grill, late 68 was the revised grill that carried through about 71?, I have a nice example of both, the early grill has been painted black.
Drop me a note with email if you want pics.

Sorry, but not true !

I think that Aase Sales in Columbus has a spare three-bar grill that should be correct for your 68. www.Aasesales.com

I show an NOS one in stock but the used one from Aase would be MUCH cheaper.
For $350 you can't go wrong if it's nice.

What part, that the late 68 had the revised grill, or that the early had the split bar?
I have had both, a early coupe with the split bar and a late Targa with the revised.

Yes, you need a three bar grill. Yours is black and should be anodized (which is probably underneath the paint).

Curtisaa was saying that the 3 bar grill does not got all the way to 71 as post above suggests. It started early during the MY68 cars and went through MY69 cars.

About the first 300 68 911's had the 67 type of grill. after that it went to the 3 bar for the rest of the 68 and all of the 69 production. Chris

Chris - Thanks for this knowledge. I was just realizing that my '68S rear grill didn't look like many of the 67's or one 68S I've seen online in the last year or two (looking through BAT, Sotheby auctions). I was starting to wonder if mine was correct or not (you know that feeling in the pit of your stomach). Mine is a late VIN (12XX) 68S, and has the 3 bar grill which I literally couldn't find on any other SWB. Do you know the source of what you wrote above? Is that from a book? Would love to find it documented somewhere.
