    Engine lid grills

    Greetings all. I have two engine grills. One has 5 verticals in it and one has 3 verticals. Which would be correct for a 71 or does it really matter in the grand scheme of things. The one with 3 verticals looks cooler (ya I know...I just answered my question). Back to my dungeon.

    3 verticals is correct for 69. 5 verticals is for 70-73.

    Thanks...the 3 vert grill came off my 72 POS parts car. It gets hard to figure stuff out when these cars have been messed with by the previous owners, but researching this stuff is half the fun.

    Ah ... forget the verticals and put on a 3.8 RS Whale Tail -- carbon fibre look baby! Then it'll be REAL fast!

    Does anybody have a comprehensive list of what grills were used when, made out of what material?

    My '73.5 has a black painted metal grill (Al?) that is just as heavy as the later plastic ones.
