    If this were a showroom condition '73 CE with all options and low miles (and the 454), that price might be ballpark in today's market.

    But not for this sad wagon.

    I agree, it is not a bad wagon, but it is greatly overpriced. Not only is it one of the worst color combinations, but the driver side doors both have dents in it that would require replacing all of the wood grain. Then there is the split in the front seat, the cracks in the dashboard, and the air conditioning that doesn’t work. There is also rust work on the left rear quarter. Yes, the world has gone mad

    I doubt it will sell. He will probably be sitting on it unless he puts it on BET, those lunatics over pay for everything over there

    He is a Porsche guy asking Porsche prices! I love that color, I've seen everything from telephones to toilets in that color. Lol

    Actually, after looking really good at that door jam photo, I think the car was completely repainted. The metallic green in the door jam is a color I remember coming on 1973 caprices. The color on the overall car appears to be that terrible drab pastel green that they had in 1974. I remember back in the 70s my grandfather had his 1967 Thunderbird repainted at Macco. They offered you a cheaper job if you didn’t go with the factory color and went with something that was close enough off of their color palette. Maybe that’s what happened to this car

    Agreed. They offered that light olive in ‘73 and ‘74 but agree that was probably a metallic green at birth. Sad

    Asking $15,000 the seller could be considered wildly optomistic, asking $35,000 is seriously delusional.

    I knew the paint color struck me as wrong for 1973.

    And there it is - 1974 Lime Yellow. Just imagine - someone chose that color for the repaint!
