Volare grilles are easy to find,,,,,,,,,compared with '78-'79 Aspen that is. Those are pretty much made from unobtainium and unobtainium is an expensive material.:(
NOS, when the occasional one comes up for sale, go for $1,200-$1,500 and UNBROKEN used grille's are very rare.
Still remember when my Aspen had it's "incident" (failed brake hose at exactly the wrong time) back in 1989 and a brand new grille assy from Dodge was a whopping $120 and that included new parking light bulbs. Sigh....................................

I was very lucky to have gotten a great barely used Aspen grille from Kit Car Chris at the Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle this year.

He made me a great deal, and I had never thought I would be able to find, much less buy, an excellent shape intact grille for OY. I still haven't installed it, and probably won't until I have time to really get the whole car just where I want it. I will probably have to attach pillows to the front end when driving it just in case! :D

My Volare was in my shop most of 87- 88 getting the big block and suspension upgrades done along with rollcage etc. and finaly bodywork and paint. I looked at the cost of a new grill, $80.00 and ordered a new one .
I saved the original in the mopar box, lucky me.
