Nope, reproduction grill shells don't come in Ford marked packaging. That's a NOS grill shell.
Ford used the plastic packaging for a short period of time, they realized that packaging like that left the parts subject to a lot of shipping damage and switched back to sturdy cardboard boxes.
AK guy, I dont know if they do or not. I have seen that one for sale for a while. I though about getting it, but decided mine is good enough.
I contacted the seller and he still has it. My dad is headed to Nikiski today to see a friend and he is going to meet the seller and look at it for me.

I got a bucket of hens teeth already, just not the gold ones...

Thanks Mike. The damage is exactly my concern though. That and the fact that I am not there in person to look it over. I'm out of state at work and even if I were home, it is still 2-3 hours one way from my house just to look at it.
I'm hoping it looks good and my dad is able to pick it up for me.
I wish I could find a nice grill shell. One day at the yard I found this.. a couple of stains, a chunk missing at the bottom left corner, but in over four years of looking this was the most decent I had ever found... it couldn't be passed up for $30. I don't even really need it but it wouldda been sad to see it go to the smelter only to come back as a frickin' Kia.
Yup, Nice grille! I have 4 of them with different dents or dings on each one. A while back there was a post on painted grilles and I found one I really like so by reparing/painting I can pretty much use any of them.Great option if a guy likes it! Good find! Gary
