I never heard of it, guess that puts me in the majority if true.  If they are two parts then there should be 2 part numbers which would be easy to find in the 78 parts manual.  Looks like a decent car though. Needs quite a bit of work.

That would mean two different types of grills for the '78. Otherwise one wouldn't fit right in the other.

<<<Skeptical!

Hey Brett, looks like you got a winner here.  Is that a W72 engine with the incorrect air cleaner base?  Why don't you post some pictures as you work your magic on this one.  This will be a very nice car when you get done with it.

I don't think that's Brett. He's not in FL.

Looks like you're correct.  Well, I like the car.  I think it will end up being a great looking car.
