Hey my name is Seth. I just bought a 1977 dodge aspen. Whilst driving home after Thanksgiving dinner (about the 5th time I actually got to drive it) a deer popped out and wouldn't yoy know it he was sucked into the grille of the car. The grille literally exploded into hundreds of pieces, but besides that there is very minor damage. Although disheartened I know there is someone out there who has a similar or perhaps the more impressive black and chrome version of the grille; so this is my quest. If anyone has one or knows someone who has one it would be greatly appreciated.

I do have one in the garage. If you ever come over to the mainland I am in North Delta if you want to look at it, or I could send you some pictures.

I must have bought it off of the guy who got it from that site as I only purchased the car a month ago for a few more pennies than that. No regrets I love the car. Yes us Canadians celebrate our holidays a little differently.
The grille looks good. What were you thinking for a price?

I am going to have to dig out the receipt to see what I actually paid for it. I think I bought it about 5 years ago as a spare in case I couldn`t find one for a 78 Aspen.

There is no room to park anything else with the seven vehicles already in the garage, driveway, and in front of the house. I did eventually find an NOS grille for my 78.

its not. 76/77 had a huge thick dodge silver badge blinkers in bumper. 78/79 had thin dodge badge and blinkers next to headlights not in bumper.

put a 78/79 grille in 76/77 and you slam the hood shut you will break 2 rows of fins and your blinkers will light up from bumper instead of next to headlights.

your grille in your 76/77 is closer to a valiant 75/76 grille than a 78/79
