What years Barracudas and Cudas front grilles can be swapped? I have a 1972 Cuda, and my original grille is too brittle, and continually breaks. Is there another year that also fits? Also any reputable replacements available?

you could fit a 70 grille but you need the header panel to supprot & mount the grille as it is different from the 72 , the 71 will not work obviously due to the 4 headlights requiring either new headlight buckets or new fenders

You can find a 72-74 easier than the early models.
At Carlisle even broken '71 grills had serious bling,bling tags  :money:
