HX Statesman. HZ are the same but painted differently, plus HZ Caprice is missing the top stainless mould and has a big, wider chromed alloy top mould that mounts separate to the grille. The one Ski-man put up is a HZ Deville, from memory every second bar is black. Also from memory HZ Caprice has every 3rd bar silver.
Those are quite a good looking grille with quad headlights. Standard HJ (or HX HOLDEN/Belmont) in silver with GTS badge probably looks the best with quad lights but there is no matching lower grille as with the Statesmans, so if you want a lower grille you probably have the best one there. HJ Statesman isn't bad either if painted right.
If you are planning to lower the van at all don't use the lower grille if it is in good condition, you'll break it eventually.
The lower grille is new too, that is how they look. I've got one or two at home new in boxes that I bought from Rares before they ran out.

Hey seems interesting. I think I'll put it on eBay. What should I list them as hx statsman grill upper and lower?

HX/HX. No-one will really care, they'll paint as they wish.

What sort of $ do you want for them? I'd be interested, always like to keep spare good quality stuff in case I never need it.

shite, just had a look on the bay, this wouldn't be the same thing? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/holden-wb-hz-...#ht_500wt_1156 im assuming i should be able to fetch more than that for mine in new condition never fitted. I stumbled into that one! lol

Notice how no-one has bid?!!

New for both, you should pull good $, but $995 for 2nd hand, no way.

Someone will probably pay well for a new pair though. Don't be surprised if you get over $700 for the pair

i just sold new old stock hj statesman upper and lower grilles for $1200 over the counter..hj is less liked than hx hz but lots rarer...
second hand upper grille in very good condition is worth between $275 and $350 all day long and lower is the same if it has its mounting tabs...the guy on ebay is not that far off his mark.
personally i would start those grilles at 99 cents..make sure you post up the link mook...:Pirate:
