Differences in Challenger Grills

[JedIEG]

Just out of curiosity- what is the difference in the mounting and fitting of the different years of challenger grills? I assume the 72-74 are all about the same and interchangeable but what about the 70's and 71's. Can they be swapped with the other years? Personally the 72-74 grills make those years the least desirable E-body's for me but they are always the cheapest cars. So a swap up front might make all the difference.

You will basically need the complete nose of the car. You can still use the fenders although the sidemarkers will be incorrect.

Technically all the grilles will interchange if you use the complete front fascia from the 72-74. The problem is 70 & 71 fenders have headlight buckets welded into them. The headlight buckets are in the fiberglass fascia in the 72-74. If you want to put a 70 grille and headlight bezels set up in a 72-74 you will need to weld 70 & 71 headlight buckets into the 72-74 fenders. I believe someone is offering the buckets for the conversion. The 70 grille weighs the least of all the grilles.

Dave @ Roseville Chry in Mi should have headlight bucket kits too
