I haven't seen one like this before. The parking lights are mounted vertical on the sides of the grille. Anyone know what this is from? 1973?

Going way out on a limb here, but thinking perhaps it might be something that came of a Mexican Mustang II. Seller lives in Cal., so maybe???????????
Most unusual!!!!!!

Then again...a little more rational thought makes me think it's off a '73!

Well, probably so... since the item also includes the headlight openings which the '74-'78 grille (inserts) did not. First glance had me thinking it may have been a full but different style header panel, and perhaps missing some trim pieces. Now that I'm more awake...it's apparent that this illusion was a sign of my early senility.

I don't think it's a II grill. The link below is info on the different II grills.

Looks to me like a 72 Monte Carlo grill. Definately not a Mustang II grill.

How do I find out where these are? In advance, I mean. I'm playing in P-Square tonight, at Doc Maynard's. If you were old enough, I'd guest you in.
