Do these exist anymore? I really have no need to go full potato and go with a fin style cooler. I'd like to acquire a brand new one if possible, before I deal with someones grimy, bent, used one.

I managed to get a brand new one from the dealer a few years ago.

Good news: I found the part number and they are in stock at various dealers online. Part number 49710-53F00.










Bad news: They are between $300-$400

Holy shit...for $300, I'll find a mint used one.

Might as well just build one with a small core. 10000x more efficient and very easy to use. Just throw some high temp on a small 6x8" core and plug it in where that would go. Mount behind grill or in front of radiator on core support. My .02

This is what the Chasebays kit used to use. It's cheap.

Has any of you ever considered using a tiny core tucked somewhere in the engine bay as close to the ground as possible without putting it in harms way? I've seen minivans and suv's using them like this.

Yes, many people have done that. He just didn't have a need to do that.

Ok, I wasnt aware that it is a common practice. In my case, I have a small core behind the bumper on front of the driver wheel, but if looking for a simpler setup, I think that would be one of the easiest solutions.
Here's how dodge caravans have theirs mounted, facing parallel to the ground right next tot the rack and pinion:
