69 Cudas do have some "one year only" parts like the front grill assembly and because of that, are more expensive to restore. for example, several of the parts on the grill are interchangeable between 67 and 68. the 69 grill is completely unique for that year only. you can find very nice and complete 68 grill assemblies for $500-$800 dollars. it is not unusual to see complete 69 grills advertised for $1500. if you buy a complete new restoration 69 grill assembly, expect to pay over $2000.
