You never know what you will find in a parts lot pile......
« on: January 04, 2021, 04:34:00 PM »
When I was unloading this part yesterday I told myself that this think looked nice. It looked like the backside was repainted black......well it looks like it may be original.

This was a total surprise today. I went out to check again on what I bought. Once I seen and read the tag in was in disbelief.

I can't wait to wash this thing down and see what its looks like. I can see there aren't any obvious pits.

Dear Brian and mid-60s Buick parts hounds,

That grill certainly looks nice!  If it is NOS that's quite a plum for you!  Congratulations!

Cheers, Edouard

Likely it will hit Ebay in the future ..I have no use for it. Just a cool unexpected find.

I got 2 grilles in the purchase. The second one looked decent but it is cracked. It needs some JB weld.

Sometimes you find a diamond in a pile! eBay or forget the fees and put it up on Facebook or 65 gs.com!
I sure wouldn’t want to ship it with current horror stories I have heard! A buddy found 3 new poston repro

You are right about EBay fees and policies.
