Car Model: Valiant
Hello to the group and thank you for the add.
I'm keeping an eye out for a 64 or 65 Valiant that needs a little tinkering here in So. Cal. I come across 63s every now and then and was wondering if a 64 or 65 front grill could fit a 63? I'm just not too partial to the 63 grill, hence the 64 or 65 hunt.
I apologize if this is a ridicules question.

Not without changing the whole front clip. Hood, fenders front valance panel etc.

I'm with you; I never liked the US/Canada '63 Valiant front end. Looks cheap and tacky. The Australian '63 Valiant had a much nicer front end design; it's a shame we didn't get that design up here. Same goes for the back-end treatment.

Any 63-66 Dart, Valiant, or Barracuda front clip will bolt on. Again, that means, both front fenders, front valance, and hood (and any trim/grille you have with that). I really like the 63-64 Dart, so that would be my personal choice. Lots of people like the 64-65 Valiant (nearly identical to 64-65 B'cuda). I believe any Canadian or Australian 63-66 clip will also swap on.
