Yes, A guy in Omaha gave it to me & no mention of where he originally purchased it. (69 val but I am assuming it is the same)

69 way different, and should be same as 70-72 duster. 67 may be the same as 68 not positive.

AAR, now Stinger Fiberglass, also lists a 67-68 but the pic of it is a 69-72.
You would need to call a verify to see if they carry the correct one.

I changed my '68 Valiant to a '71 Duster grille and a '70 hood because I liked the look better. All bolt on, and it might give you some more and cheaper options.

I don't blame ya. Had a really rare 67 sitting here and couldn't get the grilles to grow on me. It was an "E" engine and all.

"E" is the engine code (commando 273 4 bbl) in vin, and GG book shows about 100 of them made for 67 model year. Dunno how accurate the book is though.

Why no love for the '67 grill?
They have more character than the late model plastic offerings.

My favs in order are;
'68
'67
'69
'70
the rest

And '71/'72 Sharktooths don't belong in an earlier Valiant.
