I have a friend who just contacted me. And before I go deal with administering to work I figured I would get this out there. He is looking to replace his dad’s 88-89 Town Car he smashed into a telephone pole when he was 16 (a loooong time ago for both of us), as a birthday gift he will present on the 29th of July to him. Pretty cool project. He is specifically looking for a dark blue, over dark blue cloth, with blue vinyl roof. Preferably with the alloys. If the interior and roof are correct he might have it painted if the buy in price is right. So go forth, would like to find one as close as possible to Maine, but might be shipping it. Somewhere in the $3-4K range for price. He found
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
right in Boston, but he said the guy sounded sketchy as all hell. CL, ebay, the guy with a sign on it down the block... There IS a finders fee attached, be a couple hundred bucks in your pocket if the sale goes through

Wrong color, but right interior, right price and looks to be in good shape with only 68k miles.
In NE Iowa.

This post is very nearly exactly what Oppo is for. “Find me an ‘89 Town Car!”

yep, everything is right about that except for the exterior. Iowa is a long haul too, 1000+$ for shipping. But it is on the list regardless

or a SUPER cheap 1988. Blue int, and with the rest of the budget, can be repainted and new top

This 45k mile ‘87 model with dark blue interior and vinyl roof but light blue body was the closest match I was able to find near Maine on CL.

The main differences between ‘87 and ‘88 are grille, gauges and some interior trim pieces (if wikipedia is to be believed in) so I guess converting this to resemble newer model year would be relatively easy.

I would hate to see that thing painted though. I sent this out to him. Might just be close enough

The want is strong. I had a 1988 Town Car. It was triple white. ASC Sunroof. Loaded signature series. It met its end at 180K. I was so sad. I had loved that car since it was new (I was newish at the time myself at 3 years old.)

Transmission decided second gear didn’t exist anymore. Started out fine, rumble rumble rumble, 3rd gear, overdrive. I drove it like that for like a month after then had to junk it. I was so sad. Abe was my best friend.

I miss that old boat. I have a friend that has an 86? maybe brown Caprice wagon. I’m interested to see if he will sell it to me. Just over 100K original miles.
