I can guarantee someone here will want/need that grill, both bumpers and the other '80 specific parts.

Just to laugh. My grill and specifics are in better shape for the most part.. making me feel good. But yes grab end caps, headlight surrounds if good and the front signal lights all 4.  Thinking mine are slightly cracked from the fender shift mine has.

Some people will want a rear wipe arm if it has 1. Look for a front Skid plate also.. Seems I have 1 but others are wanting.

Grab Radio if cheap.. May try and put mine back to that..

iirc, you'll (or whoever) want the WHOLE bumpers because '81 and newer bumpers are shorter so the end caps won't fit on our bumpers quite right.

True but if I lose a bumper I'll likely have to get customs made. Costly to ship from CA to KS....

For some reason, the 80 grille reminds me of  a pre coffin nose matador grille

Looking at the picture again, isn't the grille on this wagon actually a Concord grille, with the prominent vertical bars?
