I actually need these pretty badly. But the timing just before Christmas, plus the exchange rate makes it difficult to swing right now.

They are NOS. Perfectly new condition.

But they've already been snagged up. Some loser from Canada bought them up. Sorry, should have updated the thread.

They were only used for the 1980 Calais/442 (and Y68 Supreme).

Your 79 takes a different grille, for 79 Calais/Hurst. Number of holes are different. 20 for 79, and 25 for 80. Plus I believe the 79 is sorta rounded on the bottom corners where the 80 is a perfect rectangle.

Thank you for getting back to me. I have been having trouble finding grilles for my 79. They have 4 waterfall particians and are 14" wide. I have found 78-79-80 are all different widths. I had a guy who said he had 79 grilles in perfect conditions and I bought them. Turns out they are for an 80 and 15" wide:and have three waterfall sections. They are mint but they do not fit. The loser I bought these from said tough luck. Pissed me right off! Happy New Year!

Oh, my bad. Sorry. I thought you were looking for Calais grilles. The Calais/Hurst/442 from 79 and 80 used flat grilles with no waterfall over the top. These grilles were the flat rectangular grilles.

Supremes came with completely different grilles with the waterfall effect.

You can always sell a pair of nice grilles, though. Even if they don't fit YOUR car, they'll fit someone's.
