Renee,

That is probably the hardest part to find on a 70-73 Gremlin. They all
cracked at the top over the headlights. Not a strong design. It that is
all that is wrong with your current grille you probably won't find one
better. If you find a good one it will cost of $$$. Did you ever think of
putting a Hornet Grille in? A 70-73 should work and early ones are all
aluminum! Look good and are much stronger than the Gremlin. Should have a
easier time locating one. These made a ton of Hornets .... wagons, 4
drs....
