WTB Kidney Grille, 10 Slat, 1600/1800 mid-late 1960's

Hi everyone,

My '66 1800 has the incorrect 8 slat grille in it and I'm looking for the correct one to properly outfit it.

Anyone has a lead on one in great condition?

Thanks!

Almost scarcer than "hen$ teeth". But there is one in the basement workshop somewhere. This is what it looks like. my email is Macitz AT gmail DOT com.

Happen to know if this fits a '72 2002?

Sure. The ten slat kidney grill will fit on a later 1600/2002, but it wouldn't be "correct".

Besides, there are bunches of early cars which ought to have the ten slat kidney but for one reason or another currently have the "incorrect" eight slat kidney grill. Would you really want to deny another owner of a very early NK/1600/2002 an opportunity to retro fit their car with a proper kidney? I didn't think so.

Have a good 4th of July.
