dRock's Panther Platform Curb Weight page
All of this info is directly from Ford|Lincoln|Mercury Brochures
NOTE - weight varies depending on trim/options. These are the curb weights, meaning the weight of the vehcile with all factory trim, and all fluids filled.
Some of the brochures listed a different weight for a model year despite the lack of any design changes within its year range, in these cases the lowest weight published is listed first, followed by the highest. Some others have been averaged if they were all close.

Notes:
- -1990 Town Car, and -'91 CV/GM had a 5.0l or 5.8l engine
- 1986+ Use SEFI, which brought the curb weights up to 3700+lbs
- '92-'97 CV and GMQ had an aluminum hood
- '95-'97 CV and GMQ also had an aluminum decklid and bumper supports.
- '91-1995 4.6ls had an aluminum intake, '96+ are composite.
- The composite manifold is naturally considerably lighter
- 1997 models were heavily decontented - potential weight savings :P
- '98-'02 Town Cars made use of aluminum hood and decklids, hence the comparable weight to the 98-02 CV/GMs despite 3" additional wheelbase length
- '98+ CV/GM have steel hood and decklid
- 03+ panthers have a heavier, revised frame with hydroformed front frame rails with aluminum front 'sub frame' for front suspension
- '03-'04 Marauders are slightly heavier than the 03+ CV/GM mostly due to the DOHC engine and heavier wheels. Variances in trim/options are negligible
- 03+ Town Cars have a steel hood and decklid, causing the more drastic weight difference between 98-02 and 03+ TC vs 98-02 and 03+ CV/GM
