Yikes. Sorry to hear 'bout that. I get the impression parts for the 73-77 aren't all that common. Hope you find it. If no one here has them check Parts Place. They list them using the 'keyword' Grill as the search. No price listed

I've got a nice fender that came off a 1973 442 so you'd have to fill the emblem holes. Then I've got driver quality headlight surrounds that I don't know if they came from a 1973 or 74. I'm attaching some pictures showing details on the headlight surround. If you decide to replace the fender let me know. I don't have the grills or lower header panel, but I do have the upper from the 442. John

Those parts are in fantastic condition for their age John. Can't believe how little rust it has. The headlight bezel could probably be sanded down and 'chrome powdercoated'.

Hey Allen, my part of Oregon is pretty dry country. I've got both fenders from this car and they both look really clean. But there's not as much demand for this vintage, so I've been sitting on these for a few years. My favorite wrecking yard (that has since gone out of business) called me one day saying they had something with 442 emblems on it. They gave me an hour and a half to pull whatever I wanted before they crushed it 
That was when the metal prices were up prior to the Olympics in China.
A couple weeks ago I helped a buddy haul a Ferd Astro van to the crusher. He got almost $400 in metal out of the mini van. While they were unloading it I spotted a 1969 Cutlass 4 door on it's roof and about cried! If I could have got to it sooner it would have looked like a turkey carcass after thanksgiving before being crushed. It had all kinds of good parts on it and although it wasn't rusty it had big dents in every body panel. It makes me sick to see things like that going away. I did snag a few items that were easy to get and will be offering them up here when I have time. John
