Steve, as far as I remember, no L model Pantera had the grille emblem, although the sheet-metal mount spot on the screen was there on your '74. Our '72 L had no emblem and the screen showed no signs it ever had one mounted. I think this is because with the big, protruding L bumper, you can't see the dogbone emblem unless you are about 30 ft or so in front of the car. So about all it does is slightly restrict air into the radiator. On the split-bumper '71-'72 pre-Ls, the emblem was quite visible.
