WIW a 69 C 500 grill and headlight assembly

[fastmark]

I bought an original 69 Charger 500 grill and assembly several years ago and I wondered what it is worth. I am not real sure but are they uniquely modified Charger headlight assemblies?

I gave $150 for a near perfect 68 Coronet grille last year. Yours may fetch a bit more if it has the 500 emblem still on it.

Are you referring to as well the headlamp buckets the headlamp bezels attach to?  As stated above, the actual grille and headlamp bezels are nothing more than production '68 Coronet parts........

The side pieces around the headlight are the only unique items on the grille. If you have the rubber strips that go on those pieces as well then I'd say it is definately a sought after item.

Mike and Gary over at Dayclona reproduce the filler with rubber strip........

I am refferring to the entire section that the grill bolts to. It looks like a standard 69 charger piece that has modified headlite buckets. It does have the pieces on the ends you mentioned and some little short pieces of metal to hold the Coronet grill in place.

I'll go look on my C500, but the original headlamp buckets on the Charger a were left in place and then additional buckets attached to the front. Now, what these were from I don't know yet, but I would guess a '68 Coronet. Because the front grille-to-hood lines are different from a Coronet and a Charger, the headlamp bezel attach anchors are slightly modified, ie., shaved down some from what I can see.
I have a few closeups of the modified bucket area...........

That is what I was wanting to know. I probably need to sell the thing. I bought it for a friend and he has never used it and it has been in my storage room for years.

Here's what I have..... This is of Dana, my '69 C500 when I was taking some reference pics....

The bottom two are of the original headlamp buckets remaining after the standard grille removal....

I have photo's of mine being the same way there Troy. Headlight buckets still behind the 500 grille.

There was a complete setup at Carlsile a couple tears back,the guy was asking $1500 for it. It was a nice piece,and had the corner pieces with it.

I saw one at E town a couple years back, the guy wanted 1650 for it

Does anyone have any "what they actually sold for" numbers over what vendors are asking?

[fastmark]

That is what mine looks like. Another friend wants to buy it to put into his 69 R/T. He has offered me $400 for it. I have two nice grills and headlight doors as well. I am afraid he would not use it and it would end up on ebay.

If it is complete,and in good shape,its worth atleast three times what you are going to sell it to your friend for.
