    It's too old to pull up the sold price in my feedback, but I sold the headlight doors-NOS to go with that grill. I think I got $175 for the set about 2 yrs. ago. Where was that buyer back then????????

    Yeah, Seth....that was a bargain.

    Since my brother has two of these cars and my good friend has two of these cars, and I have a 1968....I have always watched these parts. You should see the prices the NOS stuff fetches. The one I posted was just a sample.

    Ive owned 2 Fairlane 500s in the past a 68 and a 69 both with 302s and the grill (same as the torino except for the red stripe GT version) was thin aluminum on the 68 and a much thicker aluminum on the 69.

    This was back in 99 i had it towed to a junk yard cause I was moving and had to get rid of it fast. Did sell the 302 to someone who inquired but the rest got towed away... sheesh when i think back at all the parts.

    The map light and door locks went into my Maverick beforehand since they were the same part number and fit perfectly.
