i think it actually says "bright grille" for sebring, which i guess would mean argent - and i definitely agree on they would have threw one on if it was available - my dad's (Pops) friend in high school had a 70 GTX 440, but on the back of the hood scoop it said 383

speaking of which, anyone ever see a chrome grille? i'm sure it could be done with all the plastic chrome on cars today- dunno if it would look good, but something to ponder even further off topic :lol:

or for a tight,tight budget you can always place tin foil tape correctly to have a chrome look.

I love tape :D

Sorry to threadjack, but wonder if that stuff would make the '73-74 headlight bezels "pop". Mine are really dull and I've tried all sorts of aluminum polishing compound without success. They're just too damned oxidized.

not a bad idea. . .I'd prime it, paint 'em and wet sand, then try it out. . .I've got a similar problem with mine, although the driver side bezel is toast. ..

Yeah, seeing that it's all ball bearings nowadays, I need to prepare my fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. I know I'll need 10 quarts of anti-freeze, should I go with Prestone or Quaker State??
