Welcome to the group Bob. Nice score on a clean low milage car. What part of the country are you in. I'm right outside of N.Y. City and have 2 1974 Hornet Hatchbacks one since it was new, had it 30 years last Feb and the other since last October. Even if you find a good grill don't throw the cracked one away, you might need it later or be able to sell it. I use The Plastic Welding System epoxy for hard plastic repair. You will like it here as there are a great bunch of guys and girls here with a load of know how and a passion for these cars. You will also find out that there are a lot of parts from different years of Hornet's, Gremlin's and Concords that will fit you Gremlin.
