zed1 Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 All, Can anyone identify this grill? (It was included in a bundle of parts I acquired for my 520 restoration.) Thanks, Keith Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Not 521 or 520 I think. The surrounds around the headlights are like figure 8s on their side. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 A '67 411 is similar but larger (taller?). On the 411 the surround goes a little past center on the inner headlight bulb and is then open to the grille like the one pictured above. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Yup Matt, I had the picture but fucked up. 10-'66 through 04 '68. May '68 (start of the '69 model year) was the start of the new L521 (J13) for one year only. The next year, '70 the L16 engine made them PL521s. Quote Link to comment
zed1 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 This is also a 520 grill.... So, what model year/production date are the two variations applicable for? Thanks, Keith Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 This has to be an October '67- April '68 or '68 model year. The last 520. The next year was the L521 with this grill but the parking light under the headlights above the bumper and the 'arrow' front side marker Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 This style grill was October '66 through April '68.... which contradicts my last post. Quote Link to comment
