Hey there y'all, I'm obviously new here but I'm hoping I could find some help. I just bought a foreclosed home and in it I found 3 grilles. From what I can tell one is from a I 1963 torino gt one is a 1967 torino gt and one is a 63 buick spec. The two torino grilles however are extremely heavy and still have original glass and wires tucked in the back. Sorry for the ramble but trying to figure if this is junk yard stuff or worth keeping around. I cant find much info on original full parts so anything y'all can help with would be great! Thanks for reading

Welcome! The Torino didn't get released until 1968, so your years aren't correct. Post some pictures of the grilles and we can try to help identify them. As long as they are in good shape, they'd be worth trying to sell. We have a classified section here if they are Torino parts.

See that's why I came here... The tag says 67 but when I looked it up it looks like the 1970 cobra sportsroof

The top grille is from a 1967 Chrysler Newport;
 Cool looking piece, tho'. Probably worth a few bucks.

Good catch on the '67 Chrysler Grille John. It does kind of look like a Torino grille at a quick glance.
You can list that '73 grille here in the classifieds if you are interested in selling. What's the third grille you found?

Chrysler! Dang that is cool! The third is a 63 buick special for those who were curious.. As far as selling the 73, I will sell it.. I don't know what they are worth but if someone wanted to pm me an offer I'm sure we could work it out.. Thanks again everyone!

I remember My dad having one as a kid, you know, when dinosaurs roamed the earth...namely the full-size Fords, Chryslers and GM's...
