I spotted this car 2 years ago, I'm sure:
I want that front bumper! Detroit folks, if you see this land in a junkyard, please make sure I know about it.

So sad. If it doesn't go to the JY it will probably end up becoming a derby car.Vic

I saw that thing on Reddit!

Someone took down the image since it had the license plate in it. It was a 3/4 photo of the left rear where it had been hit. What a waste of a Landau. Funny how the left tail light housing held up pretty well despite everything else getting pushed in. I know it's busted at the bottom and has no lens, but I would have imagined it would have been obliterated.

Someone should be able to buy it for $100-200 + fees. If no sale, it goes for scrap value to the shredder .

So that would make it over $600, probably more with shipping. Argh.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Did anyone see what that went for?Comment

No clue, but it showed up at a self-serve junkyard which I will not do further business with so it can't have gone for much.
If it were at either of their competitors I'd take the afternoon off to go raid it, particularly for that bumper.

That bumper needs to be on my carComment

I might be violating my principles and having a buddy pull it for me. He's going to survey its condition for me.
If it's really rusty (that one will be steel I'm pretty sure), I don't see it as worth the money or his effort to pull it.
My experience with steel bumpers on Detroit box Panthers up to now has typically been that if you poke them with a screwdriver you'll find a spot that goes through.Comment

Well the rest of the car looks better than most in there, especially considering it's age. I need to get back into the junkyard spirit, been awhile since I've been there.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

It wasn't a clean cut-over. Aluminum as early as '81 but steel on '85...Originally posted by Birdofprey View Post
It's not even a police/nonpolice thing, though I would think police cars were always steel.Comment
