For sure that outer grille is painted per the 71 model year and unlikely to be anything other than an original GM piece (owing to issues w paint adherence and no similar reproduction). How it got bolted on there and when is open to speculation. I doubt it left GM with that grille especially that late of an assembly.

Agree. That saddle paint atop the dash should be original. That's the lighter saddle (not dark saddle) interior. LMK if the defrost vents are painted saddle to match please. Is the seat vinyl parchment?
