1969 barracuda parts in western Canada if possible
See photos attached.
Turquoise car is a 68. Notice the hood release is a short lever that extends through an opening between the grille insert and the upper valance. The bare grill is my 68 that is apart for engine compartment painting.
The red parts are a 69 valance assy. Notice the argent grille does NOT have an opening in it for a 68 style release lever but the semi-circular slot is present like the 67-68. The grille inserts are completely enclosed by the argent plastic. That's why the 69 long hood release extends down behind the bumper. You actually reach under the bumper to release the hood. On a 67-68 you reach above the grille insert to pop the hood.
If you have good 1969 grilles, DO NOT molest them as they are extremely difficult and expensive to replace. They are mostly plastic and usually found broken after 50 years. It is best to find the correct 69 parts. Run a separate wanted post. Try @barracudakid.
