Anyone know where I can get a 73-74 grill bowtie emblem? I cant seem to find an aftermarket producer of one and haven't came across any on ebay or the junkyard. Is there other years that will fit?

73-74 Bowtie

I've only seen one on ebay in many years.
Adhesive stick on thick foil type.
Havent seen them otherwise.
They came with the grill and is not identified with a GM part # in their parts books until later years from what I've seen
Your best bet might be an NOS Grille or a good used one if your willing to spill the cash.

Oh, didn't know that it was foil. I guess I never seen one in person so I just assumed it was like other emblems. I wonder if there are foil or vinyl aftermarket or something made for them? I thought I read somewhere that bowties from somewhere in the 69-72 era fit, but I could be mistaken.
I managed to get a driver quality one from a junk yard years ago
i was lucky to remove it successfully.

So far the junkyard ones I've seen were missing the bowtie. Must have been a common thing to lose
I'll bet they were removed like I did
This is what they look like, actually thin aluminum.
I've thought about buying one in case they dont sell enough of them and stop production
Like to see one first but that's a good idea.
They come along NOS time to time on EBay.

Here's another one, probably made by the same company

And someone was selling the foil emblems some time ago, maybe call the number listed here:

May be the same company as this, who also has that grille

My grill is an NOS think I paid $250 for it...mine was lightly scratched...but they were going for up to $600 before these remans came out. I bet those LMC grills look almost like the real thing...I bet that's one part that can be done pretty well...
Nos on eBay now for 599$ 50$ship
Just a bird away from a broken grill and no way to replace it if needed
That was 2011 for those emblems from Top Banana. And never heard of them till now.
I have two original grills. One with chrome I got for $20 and one without chrome, came on a front clip I purchased.
It's good to see a picture of them I never realized they were pretty much a sticker

That has to be the only two years on the old ones that were not a real emblem...kind of sucks that they did stickers at all
