front grill options...

[72RoadrunnerGTX]

A few details that should be pointed out, the 72’ grille pictured in the OP appears to be painted Light Argent Silver or something similar. Not the color as originally designed, the correct color was darker and was meant to look like titanium. Under low light conditions, it appears almost “blacked out”. None of the 71’, or 72’ Satellite Sebring, grille variations came originally fully blacked out as pictured in the OP.
I was fortunate enough to have acquired an NOS center section and right headlight surround for my restoration with original paint intact. Locating a paint match for the NOS parts was daunting. Never able to locate any factory paint codes for the 72’ grille, I did find a very close match however with a SEM product.

As much as i love these old cars, and mine a 73 and a clone, i guess i would say over a 7 year rebuild on it i love the ole gal, didn't think at the time that would happen owning at earlier times the first 3 generations but got hooked on it. I honestly have to say though the 71-72 front ends, grills have the most foreboding, mean, let me at-em looks on the ones this side of the great years of 68-70. My own opinion but i see some hear agree.. Drive-em with a smile gents, real nice cars for sure. Kinda reminds me of a cat ready to pounce on anything getting in the way!

Your 72 looks great from what i seen, but yes i agree with your colors for it,, I can see one sharp as could be with a two tone silver on black, Not even a suggestion, just saying i think one would look sharp!

thanks..but it's a 71.

 

[Ron 73]

My apologies to you, i love both years and with the black/silver or two tone, i think 71 or72 either one the body style would look good with the colors. I hope i didn't offend, it was not my intention..

BEAUTIFUL! Do you possibly have a product number for that paint can? When I repaint my car, I'm going to need to go in and repair the passenger side headlight surround on mine and I might as well paint it correct at the time.

Take a look at the cap label in the first picture, SEM “Bumper Coater” #39023.

Wow, is the "it's been a long day already" excuse valid here? lol.

The bird head helps give the black out some punch.

Only 72 RR's got the solid grille with the crossbar center section,one year only, only RR's. The 71RR/Sat's and 72 Sat's shared the same egg crate style grilles. That is one of the chin spoilers on that 72 RR, there is one on each side.

And chin spoilers were a 71 RR only option. None on any other year.

I never claimed the chin spoilers were original to the 72 RR, I was just telling one of the posters what they were on the 72 RR in the first picture.

I think they are cool and so is the Gull Wing that is why I am going to put both on my 72 RR.
