not much aftermarket support for the Volare's / Aspens but you can find them in the salvage yards along with their closely related cousins the "M" Bodies {Diplomat, Fifth Ave etc} Ill bet alot of the interior panels will interchange from a Diplomat to a Volare. You could also have your old panels 'dyed' to look almost new.

Welcome! Good luck on the restoration. I think the Volare looks pretty cool myself.

1) what do you need?
2) located... where?
Your interior pieces may not be as bad-off as you think. Cracked up? Brittle and chalky? If not, you can redye them Most auto parts stores thats ell body shop stuff sell a product line called SEM. This company specializes in interior plastic and vinyl paint/dye.
Our local Car Quest has a BBQ in the park for the customers once a year. The manager arranges for vendors and company reps to be there so we can ask questions about the products we buy "from the horse's mouth"; I had a long talk with teh SEM guy this last time and was told they have the codes etc for any car back to like 1955. I don't think that shade of blue was an Aspen/Volare "only" color.
I found the match to my 78 Fury easy enough.
and as for the "worst" car; even a Vega or a Pinto would be better than what is available thses days! "worst" from back then is better than the "best" now a days. I have an 80 volare myself that I am redoing. and may be getting another next month.
This other one, I expect to need ALOT of interior work as it has been in the Arizona desert or the Vegas area since new. But I'd rather deal with interior issues anyday over cutting out rust and doing bodywork. I live in the heart of the road salt belt.

welcome aboard, aspens and volares are great cars for starting projects. good luck with yours
