That depends. Tudors in this body style are amoung the lowest production cars Ford built. In 87 (the last year for 2 doors) 4900 Mercs and 5800 Crown Vics were built. Early years of this body style production numbers were a bout the same. 4 doors plenty were built. Lots of them were turned in for cash for clunkers or even more ended up demo derby cars. Being the last full framed car. Most things like chrome trim, window and door rubbers, doors, etc are now made out of unobtainium. Waggons are the next most difficult to find. Been looking for the front bumper for a 86 87 for 5 or so years now. The waggons these years had an aluminum bumper. Stock steel bumper is almost 80 lbs in steel. Shure would improve my track times on a road course or autocross.

The body style kinda grew on me too as well as driving the car.
