Thanks for posting, but at $995 for the center section, I'll pass.  I emailed and asked what the price was on those, and if they were in stock.  They emailed me back, and I quote, "These are special order items, and they run at $995."  Oh well, guess I'll try and work on mine.

I could have sworn I've seen those repro grille centers for WAY less than that...

THIS IS THE PHONE NUMBER TO A PLACE THAT SELLS 69 REPRODUCTION GRILLS. I CAN'T REMEMBER THEIR NAME, BUT I FOUND THE PHONE NUMBER.  THE WHOLE GRILL WITH HEADLIGHT DOORS AND EVERYTHING IS $500 or $600 IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.  JUST THE CENTER, PAINTED TO MATCH A STOCK GRILL IS $350 AND  $24 TO SHIP IT. A LOT BETTER DEAL DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR!

Dunno if this helps but sure is CHEAPER!
I dont know who they are or if they are any good but here ya go!?!

I posted a link about buying the 3 pieces for around 600.00 and I think that includes painted.  I have to call them back.  They are the same company that make the 71 Cuda grilles, and are found in the Mopar quarterly mag.  They are supposed to get back to me.  The problem seems to be this is new for them and they just started the painting process , like now.  I'll call them again and post the info.  The woman I talked to that answer the phone(Angela?) said a group buy would propably work but she had to pass the info along.

No problem just located it on another site & saw this thread! Glad I could help

Haven't ordered anything from either yet, but a couple of the bookmarks i've got set aside for future use if necessary.  Certainly cheaper than 900 bucks.  ahh, didn't follow the link to see it was the entire center assembly.

I'll have to check out the other source for the rear tail light chrome trim bezels.  I have both of mine but they are in sad shape.

Just FYI: That top one is likely a Gunslinger piece (he and Tony trade) and it's aluminum. The bottom one is chrome plated plastic. Don't forget to check out our group buy through Gunslinger

Thanks troy,  I decided to go with my backup I piece, which was bent slightly from the end nearest the front bumper.  Took a few hours but i got it passably straight, and it will go on and not show the repaired area unless someone eyeballs it from the level of the bumper.   The I piece on the grill now matches the engine and tranny that are in the car.  (came off the same triple green 69 r/t parts car i bought in 83.

Um....yeah. The link wouldn't open on my computer at work. But now I'm home and, well, it does now.
And after seeing the supposed price....I'm wishing I never saw it at all.

Well, I didn't say anything about the price...

I'm *reasonably* sure those are all manufactured by the same company so these other suppliers with lower prices likely have the 68 centers as well. From discussions with manufacturers in the past, the same mold is used for both pieces. They just use an insert to make the 69 version (which means the 68 version has to exist first).

Wow, that's an insane price      thanks for posting the other place that's cheaper.  the grill in my car is a cobbled up mess made from four different grills and a touch of balsa wood, super glue and jb weld     so this all helps me out alot.

Here is the email back I received from Charger Specialties about the 68 grills.  This was from November 1st.

hi,

The 68 grills are currently on hold ! we are not sure when we will be completing them. All i can suggest at this point is to check back with us in a few months..


Thanks

It's always sumthing   

[Magnumcharger]

This is an email reply I got two days ago:

Your cost on this item is $995 however they are a "special order only item" .
At this point we do not have them in stock - lead time per order 3 months.
Thanks for your interest in the product.
Please watch the website for updates.

How is it possible that no one, repeat, no one has come forward with buying the repro 69 grilles?  I've talked to and written the maker several times, and what do I have?  Nothing?   What the heck is going on?    I have money (some)  I have a need (greatly)  they make parts ( so they say) and I can't get info on one before I pay for it.  Boogles the mind.

[charger_mike75]

I had seen a couple on ebay that sold.

[1969chargerrtse]

Yea, there's one on there now, and they have 60.00 for shipping. Ain't doing it.  I'll pay the 200.00 min bid, but I want to see it , or talk to someone that has had one.  I'm not spending several hundred for a repro part and regretting it.   

[1969chargerrtse]

Here they are again, now with the 68 grille and talking about group buys, but no one got back to me?
