Ouch! That is rotten luck! You don't see the SE grilles much anymore. I bet you would have flipped out if they both would have arrived as SEs.
I would've needed oxygen for sure if that second grille would have been gold. Everybody at work is kind of jumping on board helping me nail down some of the last few parts. So, when the guard alerted us that UPS was on-site a huge huddle started forming around the box.
I'd resell the gold one and hunt down another black one.
Hey logik, I think that's the plan for right now. I may be wrong here but I think the se/le grilles must have been factory units that were simply painted and used on the SE's. I'd like to find an original se/le car and check the grille to see if they have a different part number.

Yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there looking for the gold grilles.
Actually I've only had a few nibbles about the gold grille. I'd trade even for a black grille that has never been painted in NOS condition
True that
I'll keep ya posted on the hunt for a black one.
Did Hurst add the whole SE/LE package such as T-Tops, pin striping, decals, and all the gold stuff or did they just install the tops and then send the cars back to GM. I'm a nut for the 76's but must admit I don't really know how the SE/LE car were built.
