I'm new to forum and looking for some advice. I'm about to buy this funky 69' Satellite and the seller doesn't have historical information on how it got this way. It appears to have really solid Coronet fenders, bumper and grille. I prefer the Satellite front fenders with the style line above the wheel and the Satellite grille, but i don't want to replace the front clip to return it to being a Satellite because I would have to match the paint which is aged. Instead, I would like to swap out the Coronet grille for a Satellite grille? Anybody know if the grilles are interchangeable?

The grill will not interchange.... I bought a 69 Roadrunner with a 68 Coronet front clip cause I needed the Coronet clip...
 
the grill won't swap in. the style lines of the Coronet grill are different. the hood wouldn't work with it either. your pretty much stuck with it unless you change the fenders and hood
 
Take it to a show like it is. I'll bet before the show is over someone will say, " I had one just like it years ago ".
 
Other than the rims, I think it looks great.
69 Sat grill is ugly. 69 SS/GTX grill is way better, but not proper either. 1 vote for keep it as-is.
 
I've had 100% dead on good luck from the guy at the paint store that photo matches my colors including tough to match YY1 and JY3 and faded EW1.

@SoCal440GTX, thanks! really appreciate the feedback. The price is right and the car is rust free, with new interior. not thrilled about the rims/tires and misplaced stripe, but I can work on that over time.
