i need a 73 pinto grille i am willing to pay a resonable price for one i cant find one and its begining to look hopless so if any 1 has 1 it dosent have to be all nice i just need 1 with no cracks or damage my numbers 215 353 2012 text or call me or post on this
I also need a grille, hard to find. Anyone know what materials are compatible for casting new teeth with?
Seems like a popular item...I dont feel all alone now in my search for a 73 grille. :)
I got a 73 grille from Woller Auto Wrecking w/ the lights in it for $85. the shipping was a chunk with the bumpers and everything I got from them. I thought the grille was a good deal, I'll post pics of it when I recieve it..you may want to look them up. They are in LAMAR, CO.
I have the fragments of Brownie's original grill, still, in storage. They are the sections next to the marker lights, if it makes a difference. I used one slat to repair a broken one in the middle of the current grill, securing it with gorilla glue. After some sanding, and new primer & paint, you can't even tell it was repaired until you look really closely!
If someone needs a few slats let me know.
That depends on how much someone is willing to pay for one. Going by the Ford part number, Dennis Carpenter Ford (concord) shows having one in stock. I doubt it will be cheap as he is a bit pricey, IMO.
Also please note that they changed in '74 so your built date may come into play.
have a 73 grill with lights broken right in the middle into two pieces will sell grill for 20 bucks could glue it and look ok!!
hey every one sorry i havent gotten back to u guys my computer died anyways i still need one so if i can get one i have the money if u have the item my cell is 267 377 5690 call or text anytime
Okay so I guess a pinto grill is a pinto grill to some wrecking yards...I take back my post about Woller and it being a good deal.
#1 the grill in the picture..might fit a 71-73..not sure yet. But it is not a 73 grill...and it had a break during shipping.
#2 the bumpers sent are in great shape but the front is not a 73 or my car is a bastard child with a slow speed impact style bumper mounting system. I will end up switching it over to the standard 71-72 mounting system since I now have 2 good looking front bumpers that do not bolt on. grrrr
Now that's very frustrating! GRR!
The grill is for a 76 Pinto, actually. Actually one in the shape that you have is more rare than a 71-73 grill, even with the break!
still no luck here in pa cnt find a 73 grille lol
i seen a few on e-bay! 3 that i know of

Good luck back dating the bumpers. I need to do the same with my 73, but the holes in the body are not the same from what I can tell. Just putting the bolts in looks like the bumper moves down about 2 inches or so. There are moments I wish I had either a 72 and earlier or 74 and later.
