I ended up with these extra parts after doing a NASCAR build.  I'm sure someone can use them.

What I'm interested in: 60's and 70's Mopars, Star Wars, Star Trek

Hi Bill, do you still have these parts by any chance? If so I would be interested in them. I don’t have much sci-fi  but I do have some 60s and 70s Mopar items. Anyhow, just wanted to ask if you still have them. I hope you’re doing well and enjoy Super Bowl Sunday !  Thanks - Mark

If whomever ended up with them could part with one, I could really use it. I have a really nice built up that is missing the grill.

Jeff I got them from Bill.  Sorry it took so long to reply.  I’ve been out of town.  Let me know what part(s)  you need and I will send your way.- Mark

Thank you I'm actually looking for original parts if I can find them

Do you need the grille surround and the insert?  They are separate parts.  
 

 Wait, forget that last question. Do you need parts for a 71 or a 72? If you need parts for a 72 that is what is shown in this photo. The 72 grill surround and the grill insert. It appears as though the grill surround has been cast in resin and has never been crown plated and has a slight bam in the one headlight. The insert looks like it came from an actual MPC kit and it has been painted. It has been cleaned up a little bit and could probably be soaked to get the rest of the paint out before repainting it. Stay tuned for the next picture.

In this photo, we have some chrome pieces in pretty good condition. A front grill surround and a rear bumper with decent chrome however, these are for the 71 roadrunner. The grill insert looks as though it has never been painted, but it has got some yellow marks on it. In any case all of these are quite usable parts Jeff. You can have them all if you wish.… Both the 71 and 72 parts. I can send you all of the pieces seen  in both photos.  I kept what I need out of the stuff that steamboat sent me. So you can have everything seen here if you wish. Or if you just want the 71 parts or just the 72 parts we can do it that way too.

I also have a 71 roadrunner grill with the chrome stripped off it if you’re interested in that instead of the crowned one or whatever. Just let me know, buddy, as you could see, there’s plenty to choose from here! But I’m happy to be able to help you complete your project so just let me know what you need

I actually just need a chrome grill surround. Can I message you a picture of the car?

Absolutely.   The only one I have with pretty good chrome is for an MPC 71 Road Runner.  If you are installing the insert from an MPC 72 Road Runner you may have to remove some material from the grille surround or the insert. Reason being the insert for the 72 is deeper from the front of the car to the rear of the car if that makes any sense. The surround for the 72 insert is a little bit deeper than the 71 surround.  However, if you were building a 71 and you have the 71 grill insert it will drop right in. The chrome is not perfect on this grille surround but it is pretty good.

and if you’re interested, I can send it to you and no, I don’t need anything in trade for it. I’m happy just to help out but it may take me a couple days to make it to the post office to send it. Cheers – Mark.
