Nope. Even the repro 66 grilles are expensive, but for the 65 you're limited to originals. Posting here on the parts wanted section might turn up something?

'65 anodized aluminum grilles are getting hard to find and can cost upwards of $500- if you can find one that's not all bent up.

The cost of having the 65 aluminum grille re-anodized and straightened can run $500 plus, if one can find a shop. Occasionally come across used 65 aluminum anodized and steel grille on ebay, found it's not the cost of the item but rather the shipping cost. If decide to try this route suggest narrow daily email notice to specific distance from your residence willing to travel.

I have a couple steel 65 grilles that I intend having powder coated when I can get around to it, FTE member provided a powder coat # that may be similar to the anodize? Local shop quoted between $150-$200?
