I did not recognize it as a 71 as it is listed Why is this grill bid so high?

It's a 72 RR grille and for $520 it's a STEAL!
This might go up to $1000.

The seller has been apparently parting out a 1972 but for some reason he's listing it as a 1971. (Probably because of his name "ilovechevys1010".....FIGURES!)

I sent him an email (others have too) telling him it was 1972 stuff. I bid on a couple of items that although I didn't really need them, extra parts are nice to have.

A center radiator support (hood latch) I didn't bid on went for 20 bucks. As pointed out the grille went for $909.00.

Funny how from time to time you find stuff like that. He's still got a few more things listed.

Cowl to Fender Braces

Checking eBay to see what's selling and ran on to a 1971 340 Roadrunner.

I noticed the two braces that go from the cowl to the fenders are not there. Got me to thinking...which at this early hour is dangerous.

I have them on my 1972 440 and have seen them on a lot of other B Body cars. So what's the real word? What combination (year, engine, etc) has them? Or in this case are they just missing?

Enquiring minds and all that!
