I thought 70 was the only year that had the emblem on it, but I could be wrong
 
Doesn't appear that he called it NOS, only that he bought it with a bunch of other stuff that was...
For the OP, there wasn't by any chance a NOS grill medallion like the one on this grill was there?

Perhaps not. But saying "among the NOS mopar stuff" leads me to believe that it was implied. Some people don't know that NOS means New/Old Stock and think it means original part. And since the OP has a history of 5, i thought it best to clarify as there is no precedent for their knowledge base.

Thanks for point out the obvious. I guess some members read between the lines too much. I am well aware of what NOS stands for.

Not every NOS part that is over 40 years old is going to look like this one.

How about this upper rad support? Got some rust spots on it, want to not call that NOS either?

If any of you had taken the time to look at my past posts and what they were about you would have seen what I was selling and how happy the buyers were!!!!!

It is a 70 non 340 grille. One year only with the chrome on upper and lower grille fins. It can be painted to use in a 340 car. I wouldn't let them wind you up it is a grille that would be needed for a 70 Duster. 71 and 72 standard grilles do not have the chrome or emblem which is hard to find. Good find. Easy repair. I would say its value on a low is around $300.00 as is. I have sold just the small chrome trim for $100.00
 
I didn't know there was a difference in the grilles in 70...340 vs non 340..this one came out of a 70 340 duster...and it looks tha same as the op's....nope...mine has black fins.


is that the diff?

Call that stuff whatever you like, if I have to fix it before I install it then it doesn't matter if its NOS or not. Might as well buy used and pay half as much. The fact that it came out of an old box rather than off another car isn't important to me if the condition is the same.
