Looking for 600 Grosser Grill and customizer.

Hi all

I was browsing the web and came across the 1000SEL site and browsed through the images. Something caught my eye. I'm keen in adding a piece of history to my W126 and that piece is the 600 Grosser grill. Anyone knows where I can get my hand on that item and maybe recommend a good customizer to install the hood? Cause I'm quite sure the hood needs to be resized and all

Thanks for any feedback that you guys can provide

one i dont live in calif,

unless u have very deep pockets, otherwise u dont wanna to buy anything that're made for the 600.
it would have been much cheaper to install a RR grill on your car. since RR shadow made 10x more cars than merc 600.

My best guess is between $13k and $60k for the parts and work, depending on quality.

I am shocked to see there is a 600 Grosser grill on Ebay for $1,800.00 USD.

It has been years since I have seen a hood come up for sale.

my bro bought a RR shadow grill with the flying lady aka spirit of ecstacy for couple of hundred on ebay.
so if u can mount that on your car for sure it'll turn some heads, whereas your 600 grill may worth 10k, who on earth can tell?
