I'm looking for just one in really good shape, which is probably asking way too much. I recently got two used ones and ultimately wasted a little money and time on that. I did manage to find one NOS sensor which is perfect for $100. I feel like I will inevitably end up trying to cut up and repair the used ones I have, but it's worth checking out to see if anyone has one.
 
Lrft or Right? Ebay has the following:1767576598973.png
 
Other option is to look at a similar vintage Crown Vic/Town Car and see what is available. Wire lengths may be different and clips may be in different locations, but there is a pretty good chance they will function the same. For some reason older Crown Vic wheel speed sensors are much more readily available from the aftermarket. Check them out for a '92 when they went to the aero body style on Crown Vic or '91 for the Town Car. I don't think ABS was a thing on the 88-91 CV/GM cars. No guarantees, but at least worth a look.
 
For your '89 I presume?
Yes. Sorry I meant to add that

I've been eyeing this too. Honestly the sensors look the same so I didn't think it mattered what side they were on...

Hmmm. Okay I'll keep an eye out
 
The crown Vic option won’t work since the rear ABS sensor mounts to the differential case not the spindles with much different mounting pads
