About $40 (IIRC) in 1982 off of the NS1 clearance list... paid more for the NOS headlight bezel... still need a NOS bezel for the passenger side to complete the set.

at one time it seems like 68 coronet / charger 500 grilles were everywhere, but like everythign else parts dry up

I know metro was repoping the grille, but don't know about the bezels

But actually $425 if it's mint,,,, isn't all that bad if one needs it.

Hello,
I have a NOS bezel. Part number is 2786 - 571. I will have to look and see if it is the left side. I can email pics if you are interested. It is not perfect, you would have to look at photos to decide if you could use it. It haas been in a box in a barn up until 3 years ago.

Bill

I also have a NOS grille it is not black so I think it is a 500 or cornet grille center. I will have to post the part number when I get home.

I will resend the pics.

Pictures received... Thanks Bill!

The 2786071 bezel is a left side (driver's side) like I already have.  It looks slightly warped like you said, but I believe it could be straightened fairly easily.  The grille that you have looks very nice, and could be easily painted to use on a C500...

Attached are resized versions of the pictures you sent, and the third picture is the 2786070 passenger side (RH)bezel I need for my setup... note that the box is mis-stamped as a "LH" part.
