1977 El Camino grille

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a '77 El Camino/Malibu/Chevelle grille, the one with the vertical strips. Preferably without emblems and not chrome.

Thanks!

I painted the grille I'm using in my Elco project. It's a '77, and it's plastic, and had chrome on the vertical bars. If you can find one, just paint it semi-flat black.

Still looking for a grille.

There are a couple '77's sitting up here at one of the yards, but I seem to remember looking at the grills earlier this summer and noting that they were damaged. Be glad to check them out again if I can get out there in the next week or so.

Wow, if you could do that for me, I would greatly appreciate it!!!!
Would you mind taking pics if there is one in good shape?
Thanks!!

Like this one? It has a few issues, but I have definately seen worse.

That's not a '77...maybe a '75 (?)

Ok...thought i would try. I know more about the Lagunas than the Classics. I thought I pulled that one from the '77 that I had. It must have come from the race car. it was a '75. Sorry Willem.

Yes Pila is right, don't worry about it though Zot, I appreciate all the help I get. Wink

Apparently, grilles from '77's are pretty rare?

Sorry to tell you this...but, I checked out the three '77 El Caminos out at the yard and the grills were broken or missing on all of them. Can only keep an eye out for you in case something rolls in.

That's to bad, but thank you for your effort!!!!
If you can keep an eye out that would be great! Smile

so it looks like this?????

by Willem on Tue Dec 20, 2011 3:01 pm

Yessir! That is one nice Elcy. Cool

Mine had no emblems, are the emblems removable?

by A_Tame76 on Wed Dec 21, 2011 10:39 pm

Yes...all the emblems are removeable. They have a backing plate with a couple speed nuts that hold them on. The 77 grill is one of the hardest to find from my experience. They are often cracked or badly pitted.
