Yeah, that's where I think I'm going to land on this. I can't believe they're this hard to find, other than the NOS one I found for $500. That's just obscene.
Interesting side note: Year One is the company responsible for the reproduction '72-'74 grille. A friend of mine that worked there at the time picked up a cherry example at, I believe Carlisle. It was part of a set, along with the lower piece. He tried to impress on them that
both pieces should be reproduced, but they decided to do only the upper--you know, the part that's almost never cracked, broken, or warped. They had stacks of those they couldn't
give away for years, and still have a bunch of 'em at like $140 last I checked. My car came with
four excellent ones. The lowers, on the other hand, all seem to be damaged, and other than NOS I've yet to come across a really good one in almost two years of looking. He just chuckles about it. "I told 'em, you can't really do one without the other but they didn't want to invest that much. They chose the wrong one." Apparently the pristine lower disappeared somewhere in the depths of Asia, never to be seen again.
