    Description

    This listing is for the highly coveted 1960 Mercury full size car grille, which is a popular swap into 1959 and 1960 Chevy custom cars.   It's not a bolt-in deal, but many builders have made it work, would also be nice for a 60 Mercury restoration.   This one has issues.    The headlight bezels are not a correct set, one outer is missing, and an extra inner is included, see the pic on the ends.    For a custom application where the ends of the grilles don't show, this could work, just trim the extra inner off flush, but for a restoration you'd need a correct outer.   The other outer is cracked by the outer screw mounting hole.    The headlight pans are included, they need to be sandblasted clean, but the headlight buckets and retainers and stuff are missing.   They take a standard quad headlight bulb but you'd have to make something to get the spacing right.    The grilles have a nice shine from a distance but up close they have some issues, one side has some pitting on the bars near the headlights, that's the worst spot shown in the closeup pic, the other side has less pitting but it does have two cracks, one at the top of the outermost vertical bar, and the other on the outer surround where the outer headlight goes.   That one will not show when installed.  Definitely not a perfect set, but could be a good starting point for something custom, or for a driver Mercury restoration if you can find a replacement outer headlight bezel for the one side.    I will package this very carefully to avoid any damage, the package is going to be very large and very heavy, hence the shipping cost.
    Usually I can ship stuff out within a couple days, but once in a while the shop is busy and it'll take a bit longer.   Let me know if you need this right away and I'll see what I can do.
    Shipping for this item will be  anywhere in the continental US.    Feel free to email me with any questions.
