Default New 66 grille

I'm looking for a new 66 grille. The one I have is heavily pitted and I'd rather not attempt to restore it. The prices range anywhere from 600 to 850 + shipping. Does anyone know where I can get one at a reasonable price?? Thanks

Have you tried GM Parts Direct?

http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm

The best way to use their web page is to enter a part number and click GO. I don’t recall if the ’66 is the same as the ’67 (3875746), but I see the ’67 price has gone up about $30 since April.

Thanks guys for the help. I ended up buying one from Autoplicity.com

It came out to $630.00 including shipping with no sales tax using a 2% off coupon.

Sorry if I am bringing old ones back to the front, but I couldn't find any other way to "bookmark" posts that would be useful to me now or in the future. Hopefully I am not causing too many problems, just trying to build my "tool chest".

You can use your web browsers Bookmark or Favorites feature for the purpose you are addressing.

Why don't you just bookmark the thread? The popcorn symbol isn't going to allow you to find only the threads you're interested in.

I wanted to keep everything within this forum, but I have found a better way to save them without doing my lurking. Under each post there is a "Thread tool" pull down from the top of the post and can choose subscribe and it does the same as lurking without my posting anything. So problem solved. Apologize for the old posts coming up again.

This showed ones I have an interest in and would appear under my profile for future reference.

I bookmark all of the valuable threads/posts. When they have run their course, I print them off. I have a notebook full of these, which reside next to the chassis manual.
