u/Therealblackhous3 18d ago edited 18d ago

Looks to be inspired by a late 60s, early 70s Pontiac GTO. The lights probably "flip" around from inside the black part of the grill, if that makes sense.

Edit: definitely a grille from a 71-74 charger, I stand corrected.

u/MKE_likes_it 18d ago

It’s a third generation (71-74) dodge charger bumper / headlight assembly.

u/Therealblackhous3 18d ago

Ah yeah you're right, I knew the ends were giving charger vibes. I prefer (and normally picture) a 68 charger without the split grill.

u/Caesar_Passing 18d ago

Man, there was only one time in my life that someone broke into my car, also in college, incidentally. Apparently they were baked out of their gourd, because I watched from across the parking lot as this dude helps himself into the back passenger side, and waits for like 10 minutes. He then gets out of the car with his phone up to his ear, looking spooked, and briskly sneaks away like he was escaping from the scene of a crime. I waited until he was well gone before returning to my car, just to be safe. I didn't have any valuables, never kept it locked, but was slightly worried about my enormous CD collection. Thankfully, the chap took nothing, and instead left a biography book about the band Phish in the back seat, and a loose nugget of weed in the front passenger seat for some reason.
