Finding Cheap 1960′s Mustang Grille Ornaments

Filed under Accessories, Ford Mustang by on August 17, 2011 at 3:35 pm {no comments}

The secondary market has become a lot more accessible with the ever-increasing popularity of eBay Motors and eBay Motors Canada.

eBay Motors and it’s Canadian counterpart aren’t just for complete vehicles, they also provide a wonderful arena for buying both aftermarket and previously loved parts.

With the mid-60′s Mustang being one of the most popular lines and eras, there are parts a plenty of eBay and almost all of them at a spectacular price.

What better place to start this series than the iconic pony that leads the way.

Shipping is affordable to both Canada and the United States for a Ford Mustang Grille Ornament: In Canada, you’re looking at between $12-$15 to get it shipped to you from the United States. Americans are even luckier as there’s generally a low-cost $5-$7 option.

Obviously, I would opt for the Original Ford Mustang Grille Ornament, but there are plenty of Chromed and beautiful reproductions. After you’ve decided how you’ll approach it, whether for your mantle or for a restoration job, the prices vary wildly. In auctions, you can find magnificent steals on Ford Mustang Grille Ornaments whether 1964, 1965, or 1966. Buy-It-Nows are a bit pricier, but you’ll be able to find very good deals if you have to have it now.
