I think the ‘74 Country Squire on here is the same color. You could use the Squire for a great parts car for this one. Interior should shift right over.
Yeah Bill - you should buy this thing....you never know when you may need a plain-sider to round out your collection......
Well I’ve got a couple of all metal wagons. Some time we’ll go out in the ‘78 LTD. Light Jade with the Colman camper green interior. Nice Albuquerque car too.
