Title: grille for '73
Post by: hotrodpintolover71-72-73 on February 09, 2017, 01:38:55 AM

Hi. Do ALL the early/first Pinto grilles fit and bolt up exactly the same, all those first ones that look alike? These are my favorites, but I ask because I need to know if they all fit a '73 Pinto. What years, all those? Do any of those first grills that look alike not fit a '73?   Thank you. Bill

I have not checked but the link below seems to imply the 71-73 grilles are the same.

The differences between the 71-73 and the 74-75 is due to the hood latch.  71-73 use an external latch to release the hood where the 74-75, the hood release is via cable from the inside of the car.
