Not considering the engine and trans are both lunched. Scrap price for me.

Oh they must've changed the description. Last night when I looked at it there was no mention of engine or tranny. Yea, sadly worth less than $1000 now.

[DerekTheGreat]

Yeah, dude says an engine and trans go with it but I'm not one to endorse an engine/trans I've never seen run or have no reliable history for..

Decent looking 2005 MGM



And

The world's most expensive Mark VI (and I believe the price has dropped since initially listed some months ago)



And

A sharp looking 2005 Towny



And

An 88 Towny for good measure

[SeanP]

Here's a blue beauty from 1988.

[DerekTheGreat]

Doesn't want a whole lot of scratch for it either.

[Mr Bean]

Good deal on a Mark 6.

What’s the going rate for derby guys? I’d hate to see that meet that fate buts it’s priced low IMO.

I think it's a little lower than that.


Also saw this wagon.

That is a good deal. Bet it's got a digi dash too I'd be all over it for a cool $1,000 USD

If anyone is interested in a 1986 grey on grey Grand Marquis with flawless frame and very good but not perfect body for about $1k, please get in touch. Car is in Windsor. Runs, drives and stops. Perfect dash pad. Needs tires before it can roll on its own again. Front bumper has rust peeking through the chrome, rear is good. Package tray behind rear seat is absent as was either moisture or sun damaged, I forget which. Only body issues are minor paint issues and some rust by one of the cornering lamps, as far as I know so far.

A contact of mine saved it from the crusher and intended to put it on the road, but has run into a financial situation and needs to sell it. I am buying it pending availability of storage at another friend's house to save it from the derby. Seller is mostly connected to derby people and is trying to get me to save it from them, because if he sells it to anyone else, it will go to that fate. However if I can't line up a buyer it'll be a moot point having saved it.

Not meaning to spam, but this hasn't happened yet and is still an option.

The car is really, properly solid. It is a prime candidate for anyone this side of Toronto, or even the nearby US Midwest, if someone wants one.

Buddy messaged me again, his parking space is disappearing and property management wants the car to go away. Above-mentioned plane didn't pan out as I don't have space.

(edit: pics link removed. for status refer to Reader's Rides thread)

It has tree sap all over it, paint needs love, body is very good but not perfect as you can see. Pics are from a while ago.

It's a solid car waiting for a loving home but its time is running out. Get in touch (with me) if you want me to put you in touch with him. It isn't listed for sale anywhere, he's mainly going through me to find him someone for it.

This car is now in my possession. Its future is unknown.

That white '89 Town Car in the combo deal is an AHA Formal! Saw its twin four towns over last year, replete with a vinyl top that was basically falling off. Was parked at a mechanics shop so hopefully it was getting the love it needed. Probably the easiest of all the boxes to slicktop, assuming you can have the full size rear glass made for it. Two tone gold '86 is sharp! '91 Town Car ad makes me laugh, 5.4 mod motor wasn't even a thing back then. Obvious neglect and other things make me wonder how much of these list prices is to keep derby folk away and how much is based on crack pipe....

Good move buying that slate grey '86. If I wasn't tapped out with land yachts and the border was open I'd be seriously considering that one. Eva needs a boxy-box stablemate dammit. Unless job situation continues to improve I'm tapped out until early 2022 at the earliest.

Good eye, I agree with you that it is one. The AHA cars are interesting, but not really a driver's car. They are typically stripper models to start with, so it'll be short on many of the options that make the car what we expect it to be. They often have driver seat recline deleted (it can be added back, but it's an invasive surgery). The pull-out rear seat writing tables are a neat novelty that should have been a factory option, as with the repositionable map lights for the rear seats. The roofline looks goofy but also affords more room in the car.

I think that unlike any of my others, the 86 will pretty much forever be for sale to a good home...so there is nothing final about me grabbing it. But we'll see. There is nothing about that car not satisfied by my others, so it doesn't bring anything new to the table and therefore no new reason to hang onto it long term. But we'll see.

Sharp car, the 2tone on a Sig is relatively rare not being a Cartier. Looks to be in real nice shape.
