All,
Ok, well, I've recently acquired the car, and shortly thereafter determined that getting a sleeping toddler out of the back of a coupe is an incredibly strange ordeal of acrobatics.
So, I've got this 1987 Ford Crown Victora 2-door Coupe, black with red interior. I'm the second owner, and it's got just under 73K original miles. Excellent condition. Not showroom, but not too far off. Garage kept its whole life, the previous owner passed away not too long ago. Yes, it's the senior-owner stereotype... I know, but it's really true in this case. Have the original manuals, and some maintenance paperwork done by the executor of the estate (owner's son). I purchased it in October 2008 with 70K on the clock.
Needs? As far as I can tell, the tailpipe aft of the ler is going, and that's it. Already converted to R134a.
Pics forthcoming. I'm figuring $2600.
HOWEVER, I'm in the process of acquiring a daily driver (sigh, yes, I've had to bite the bullet and go for a 4-door) that's also a touch smaller, thus easier to shoehorn into my garage.
Any interest? Pics forthcoming.
YOUSIR!!! TONS OF INTEREST!!!! but to get to the interested, you need to post this car on grandmarq.net/vb

Sounds good - I've been a member of cvn for a short while... though I'll likely post to both gmn and cvn once I actually get my (sigh.. grumble) more practical daily-driver and have the coupe ready to be sold.
