Folks have inherited my grandparents 1993 Crown Vic and I was wondering what you all think it would be worth? 150k miles really clean and in good shape inside/out. Runs great and has original r12 a/c that works fine. No rust.
Clean 1993 Crown Vic value?

Looks like a $2,500 car to me
A good detailed and proper maintenance history showing proper oil and filter changes and other proper upkeep would add significant value if you are going to be selling it.
Were they the type that had a dealer do everything? If so, a long significant CarFax may be easily available.

Have all maintenance records since they bought the car in 1998
That's about right. Crown Vics and GM's are so plentiful they are a dime a dozen.
In realty, it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
The value is probably far more in the usefulness of having a 2nd reliable safe vehicle around, than the couple thousand dollar it might fetch in a economy with a rapidly collapsing dollar. I'd hold onto it personally.
Alternately I'd use it to trade into something useful. Barter economy is better than cash economy in many ways.

If I had the money I'd have that off you and get it imported to the UK in a heartbeat. What a gorgeous Crown Vic!
The interior is certainly interesting.
That looks to be in great shape. I’d say $2500-3000 but possibly more due to the cult-like following they have. Add $50 for the whitewalls, $50 for the red interior and $50 for the dash mat.
Yeah the sad thing is 80k mile "low mile" MGMs and Town Cars go for $4k so this "medium mileage" one will go for a little less.
But try for more, you could always find that one guy! I am impressed that the headlights aren't all yellow and beat up.

$2500 sounds about right for a low hassle local sale.
On Bring a Trailer or Cars and Bids it could go for significantly more (maybe $5K) if people are in the mood, but the effort in 150 HD pictures and multiple videos might make it a wash. And there's a chance it will only sell for $2500.
Good looking car. I'm sure you'll find a good buyer in the current market.

$2,000.00
To Bailes1992: You said, "...I'd have that...imported to the UK in a heartbeat."
Really? What does it cost to convert a LHD vehicle to RHD? Then, what would it sell for? Forget shipping costs for this example.
edit: My BIL sold his mother's 1991 MGM (100K, clean Texas car) for $2,400 last year....WHEN HIS MOM TURNED 100!

No need to convert it to RHD; I owned a Crown Victoria when I lived in the UK. You do need to make modifications to the turn signals (must be amber in the rear), and install a rearward facing foglamp, as well as have amber blinkers on the front fenders. That was all I had to do to get what they call a Single Vehicle Approval (or SVA) to register it, and that was that.
