      That one has been for sale for a while. Possibly as long as 2 years. There's snow in the background. Also, I think they already have come down on the price.

        Lol, Eagle eye, bro.
        There nothing like seeing it in person....as in..crawling around with a Mag Light/ ratfuck. Wouldn't mind a 30 min drive to look.

        This one a relic of CL too?

          To those of us not in Detroit it's pronounced properly as Grand Marquis and that's definitely a beater Crown Vic.

            Yeah, no idea why it hasn't sold. I'm kind of curious to know what it looks like in person. It might just be the dented passenger side quarter panel keeping people away.

              I’m really not a fan of the “woodrose” color on the 90/91s. It was pretty popular, so someone liked it

                Marauder exhaust system though so like +1000hp, and i mean hit-points, because only nerds would think that's awesome. Sounds "mean". Or like a shitty stock 2v but noisier. Really wish i'd taken video of my '98, it sounded impressive.

                  A loaded '89 Country Squire, with INSTA-CLEAR windshield intact.

                  $3500, near Denver, CO.
                  https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/...717266604.html

                  The exterior is the color my '88 Country Squire was, and the color I would want again.
                  It has way more options than my '88 had though.

                  Ditch lights, rear air deflector, turbines, INSTA-CLEAR windshield (and the actual windshield, alternator, and box(voltage regulator?) are all still there), illuminated door locks, vent windows, auto headlights, leather wrapped steering wheel (that likely became sticky and nasty), cruise control, trip minder, I think I see numbers on the heat/ac control head temperature indicating ATC, I believe that is a premium sound radio (could be wrong, but it does have power antenna), large headrests, rear jump seats, map pockets, and I'm sure I'm missing some options and can't tell if it has a few others.

                  Looks like it's in really good shape. I'm not sure what's up with the battery being smaller than the hold down, and there appears to be a shutoff installed on the positive battery cable.

                  The picture that tells me all I need to know to see that the INSTA-CLEAR windshield is all there. From the first thing I noticed, the alternator, to the yellow stripe at the bottom of the windshield.

                    That thing is hard loaded, every option but leather and air shocks.

                    My 89 MGM was a high level option car too. The only thing it didn’t have was the trip minder.

                    Has any here ever noticed that overall it seems that Vic’s are more commonly seen with trip minders than MGMs? I also found it funny that Instaclear wasn’t available on the Town Car.

                      I definitely dig the silver wagon. The higher trim level cloth cabernet interior make it. I really hope the new owners do not make use of the studded snow tires.

                            My mom's '87 Country Squire also had a tripminder, premium sound, ditch lights, but no Instaclear (not sure what other options it had).
                            I've only seen one instaclear windshield car in person. It was a '90 Colony Park in a local JY. When I went back a couple weeks later expecting to get something from that car it was gone. That's how I knew what the alternator in the posted ad is, and what the yellow stripe at the bottom of the windshield is.

                            Silver?
                            You're right, it is more of a silver color. Not the color I thought it was... oh well, it's still a nice color that wold work for me. I can't afford it right now anyway.

                            I noticed the studded snow tires too and thought "Noooo, why would you do that?" lol.

                              A few good sized rust spots but good enough for a DD and it's in better shape than my cars.

                                ^I don't think I've seen those. If that's $1000 for the pair, that's a good deal. Even $1000 each wouldn't be a bad deal.

                                ^Posted that one recently. That hood ornament though.
                                It's a little rough but good enough for a DD.

                                ^Was going to post that one last night but then I found the wagon with Insta-Clear windshield and didn't bother.
                                A few good sized rust spots but good enough for a DD and it's in better shape than my cars.




                                All nice finds. I don't know much about them, lol.
                                The Fairmonts and the Zephyr (Mercury’s Fairmont counterpart) are all fox platform cars. Smaller than a panther, but a lot more aftermarket parts availability.
