    A couple local ones:

    1990 Grand Marquis for sale outside a repair shop in Windsor, Ontario. I have the contact info on-hand, contact me if you want it. It's private sale so I don't want to put their info here for all of eternity.





    Whale Vic LX (06+ I believe?) at J&B Auto Recyclers in Windsor, Ontario. Looks to be pretty good, to me. If not sold whole I am sure it will go into the yard for parts. They are a full-serve yard and I believe participate on Car-Part.

      Nice Medium Woodrose Metallic '90 MGM there. Looks to be out of my price range based on condition. The border still being closed doesn't help even if I could afford it.

      ~ 1989 MGM LS Colony Park - Large Marge
      ~ 1998 MGM LS - new DD

        That silver Vic is 05'. Quarter panel one year only antenna is a giveaway.

          Ah yes, I suppose that does make it an 05.
          The steering wheel and gigantic head restraints are what made me think it was newer.

          They only want $1000 for it. Runs and drives, was driven to the yard.
          I'm going to go take a closer look at it.

          I, of all people, do not need it. But that's really cheap and the body is pretty straight on it. A lot of what keeps me away from the newer cars is their incessant rusting doglegs and front fenders.

            Here's another local Windsor box for sale, sent to me by a friend. I've seen this one around for a while. It's year-round driven, and it shows, wheel arches and rear quarters are a little rough.

            As above I've got the info if someone wants it, but you'd be wise to try for that clean '90 first.

                I do not know the year of the Crown Vic. It seems to have a centre high mount stop lamp, so that would make it an 86-87. If it's older, it's still at least 83+. It will be carb or SEFI, if it was sold new in Canada.

                I do not know the pricing, those would be questions for the people selling them...I have PM'd you their phone numbers.

                    $1000 seems like a bargain. You should buy it quickly. It is sad that many people don't want them anymore.

                      I looked at it this morning. Took it for a test drive. Great car for the money. Not as unrusty as I had assumed, it's pretty crusty underneath, but not too far gone to be worth $1000.

                      HVAC controls don't work properly, I suspect it's that O-ring problem...it won't change modes and just sort of lazily mixes air through all vents.
                      Driver door is taken apart, driver window regulator is toast.
                      Interior is filthy, they had a dog evidently.
                      Needs tires.

                        So derby car then...

                          Offer them $800 see what they say. $1000 still isn't bad if you don't mine the fixing up.

                            I passed on it. I went over it in detail with a mirror, it's just a little bit too much. Rockers are toast (though they pass cosmetically, the bottom side is gone). Rust levels are just a bit beyond my comfort zone at that price. It's a fair bit rustier than my wagon.

                            $500? All day every day. $1000, and having to pay tax on $1000, no. Guy wasn't moving on price at all. His reasoning is that they are not a car lot. He doesn't normally sell whole cars unless they're super clean, and that isn't. The car has well over $1000 of good parts to sell, so I see his point.

                            Frame and powertrain were maybe worth it but I am not in a position nor interested currently in frame swapping anything.

                              Some crack head will buy it and run it into the ground.
