GI Auto Salvage has a lot of older Volvos if you're interested.
They're off Rt. 46 near Parsippany and their tel. is 973-227-1100.
No affiliation, of course.


I'd not recommend driving without the grille, because road debris
would be more likely to puncture the radiator or damage the fins,
reducing cooling efficiency.


If you're changing the grille anyway, you could replace it with a
grille where the fins are removed and replaced with coarse wire
mesh. This would allow you to mount driving lights behind the
grille if you want better lighting.
